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.

Keeping Total Costs when Filter Applied

Hi,

 

I work on a number of projects that are so big I need to apply filters to them to print out obviously so I don't have to print the entire plan every time.

 

My Problem is, when I apply a filter to the plan e.g. remove task that are 100%, the baseline cost and budgeted total cost are reduced by the amount on the lines that are filtered out.

Is it possible to keep the top line costs on for the whole project even  when a filter is applied?

 

My Project Managers still want to see the full costs on the project but not necessarily all the tasks.

 

The only way I can get a rounf this is by not applyig a filter but rolling up the WBs when it is complete, BUT this still gives me more pages than I want.

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks,

lucy

The only way to do it is to fool it and create a summary dummy activity that has the same total costs as the project total costs. You just have to know that it is there and not double dip it and make it a new WBS
