Cumulative Cost

[WRT IT Dept]

Greetings,
I am using PS 2007 with SP2.
If I open a project in Project Desktop 2007 SP2, I can create a “Cash Flow
Report†and see a field called “Cumulative Costâ€. However, I do not see this
field in Project Desktop if I try to “Insert Columnâ€.
I would like to use the OLAP CUBE to open several projects and see a
“Cumulative Cost†field. However, I do not see this field in the cube, nor do
I see it in project server or in project desktop.
Does anyone know of a way to see the “Cumulative Cost†field in such a way
that would allow me to do a graph similar to the “Cash Flow Report†in
project desktop but across multiple projects?

Cumulative Cost is a timephased field. You will see it in the Task Usage
and Resource Usage views, by right clicking on the table to the right and
adding it.

In the Task and Resource views, you won't see Cumulative Cost, you will only
see Cost, which is the same thing.

I would need to check which cube contains Cumulative Cost, but I would assume
that it should be in an Assignment cube. I'll have to check that next time
I have a MOPS instance open.
