Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi All
I have some activities with expense cost for each activity,
How can I create one activity include a total of expense costs for above activities?
I.e. Activity A cost $100,
Activity B cost $150,
Activity C cost $550,
Activity D is sum of activities A,B&C which automatically its cost $800

Regards

We don’t do summary activities in P5. That’s a disease microsoft proiject has. You need a code structure e.g. the WBS or any activity code. Summarisation by code is Primavera’s "crown jewels", you should aim to have all your activities at the same level and as many code structures as everybody needs to summarise. No "dummy" acvtivities.
