    Quick question, has anyone ever configured the above and seen any data ?

     

    If yes, then, how is the data calculated/ populated ?

    Hi NJ.

       To answer part #1 - can we see data? - yes. This mathematically checks out with our rate matrix (blended - 62.5) within zero decimal tolerance.

    How is the data calculated/populated? It's been my experience that it *seems* everything with the word 'cost' on it needs the Earned Value jobs running - but here I'm guessing. I'll defer the 'how?' to super-smarterer people than me like Kathryn_Ellis!

    To get the costs for baseline and allocations, you need to have data extracted from your Rate Matrix.

    You need to ensure you are running Time Slicing and the date range of the slices covers the dates of the view.

    Updating Earned Value Cost Totals will update rates from the updated rate matrix extraction
