Viewing Resource Cost in OLAP cube

We recently assigned resource costs to all resources in our resource pool.
I am interested in viewing the total resource cost for last year but I find
that some resources are not showing the associated costs with their
assignments.

I'm wondering if the costs associated with archived project assignments are
not included in Portfolo Analyzer views once the assignments are changed to
Proposed. That is the only similarity I see amongst the costs that do
appear, vs the ones that don't.

Do we need to hit "F9" on all projects and then wait for the cube to
rebuild? Or are archived assignments omitted from the cube views? Can
someone let me know if I am missing something? Or if there is a way to view
actual costs on a project, archived or active?

Thanks!

Update:

Well, I found the answer to my question. You do need to open archived
projects and hit F9 for the costs to calculate and show up in the Portfolio
analyzer view. I'm not sure if you would need to do the same with current
projects to capture costs prior to when I entered the REsource Costs. But
I'm betting you do.
