Microsoft Project Holidays

Hi Marissa

Thanks for your question. There doesn't seem to be an option in MS Project to apply a resource cost to the resource holidays.

One way is to add the cost to the Fixed Cost Column.


1. Add the holidays as exceptions. (Project, Change Working Time, choose resource, Exceptions)

2. Display the Fixed Cost column in the Gantt entry table and manually calculate and enter the cost of the holiday.

To help with the calculation of the charge for a holiday it is possible to add two columns to the Resource Sheet one for days holiday taken and a calculated field to multiply by the resource Standard Rate.

We will cover calculated fields on the Project Advanced course when you attend.

Hope that helps for now Marissa.
