Viewing resource costs

I have entered a daily cost for my project resources. How can I get those costs to appear in the 'Cost' column in the gantt view?

RE: Viewing resource costs

Hi Caroline, thanks for your question.

In the Gantt chart view click on a column to choose the point where you would like the cost information to be displayed. From the insert menu choose column and from the dialog box that appears select the cost field.

Wherever you assign a resource that has an associated cost to a task, Project will calculate the cost for that task and display it in appropriate cell of the cost column.

Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
