Hi James

Thanks for your questions. It is possible but before Project can gather the necessary data you need to save a baseline (Tools > Tracking > Save baseline).

In the Gantt Chart view switch to the Costs table (View > Table > Costs) Here you will see costs, baseline and variance information calculated for you.

As you update your project these figures will automatically adjust.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
