Why does the Budget cost report give different values depending on whether the summary tasks are collapsed or expanded?

RE: Project

Hi Carole

Thank you for your question. By default the Budget report is set to exclude summary tasks. Go to View > Reports > Custom and select the Budget report from the list then click Edit. Put a tick in the box Show Summary Tasks and click OK.

Now when you report you will see values that match your table. Use the Show button on the formatting toolbar to quickly set how much detail you want to see in your report then run the Budget report as normal.

Let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
