formulas in cost columns

I'm planning a large scale project and would like to create a "risk adjusted"
baseline - i.e. have the regular baseline cost and another baseline =
original baseline+5%

Has anyone done this in project?
Thanks!!!

I've been trying - I selected the Task Information, selected custom fields
and I have a list of fieds (cost 1 through 4, etc.). But it seems that the
fields are not editable. Is there something I have to do to allow me to
input the formula?

Thanks!!!

Hi,

In any custom cost field such as Cost1 enter as formula [Baseline Cost]*1.05
Tools, Customize, fields, Formula...
Hope this helps

MMD,
Based on the time of your post and Jan's reply, Jan may be offline at
the moment, so allow me to help get you going.

Custom fields are created under Tools/Customize/Fields. That will bring
up the Customize Fields window. First make sure the desired spare field
is highlighted in the field list, then hit the "formula" button and
enter your formula in the formula edit window.

Hope this helps.
