Earned Value changes based on rate change

[Brian]

The labor rates for a portion of the resources in the project have changed.
I want to update the earned value fields (BCWS, BCWP, etc.) without saving a
new baseline. I want to save the history of the work performed vs. the
baselined work and only change the cost data.

Is there a method to update only the EV cost fields without rebaselining the
project?

Thanks

Earned value is all about $, not work so changing the rate is significant.
BCWS and BCWP are both Budgeted figures so they won't change unless you do
reset the baseline.

In Project 2002 onwards you can save upto 11 baselines and under Tools,
Options, Calculation tab (then click the Earned Value button) select which
baseline is to be used for EV calculations. So go ahead and set Baseline1
then use Baseline1 for EV calcs. You can swap back to using normal Baseline
if you need to later.
