Total cost sheet

The Total Cost spreadsheet continuously calculates cost.

The Fixed column shows a calculation summing all resources that were marked as "fixed"

The Variable column shows a calculation summing cost of all resources that were hourly, daily,weekly or annually-based.

A quick look at the bottom line Total Project Cost quickly shows you where the project stands based on all the data you've entered.

 

What do I do with it?

You can't really edit this spreadsheet, but it is very useful for one thing - you can grab any data from this spreadsheet and paste it to your own custom spreadsheets (You can make changes on sheet Total Cost, for example, to print, but they will not be fixed anywhere. If you will pass to other sheet, and then will return on Total Cost all changes will be lost).

Try selecting all the cells, then right- click and Copy the cells to the clipboard.

Next go to a User Sheet, right-click and Paste the cells into that sheet.

You can now create your own calculations based on the data from the Total Cost report.
