Dwight, I agree that I am 'misusing' Time Required for my own purpose, so I can't really complain about it. A number of us have requested a new variable such as 'Cost', and if it were able to be a negative number, then I could create a whole accounting system based on Project summing up to parents. I realize I am trying to turn MLO into what 'should' be done in a spreadsheet, but it is so nice to have all my project info in one app, and want that to be MLO.
I like your idea of just shifting the decimal point over, so $100 is represented as 10h. Since my real problem is just keeping track of when the value goes over $65,536, I plan to just group project costs into quarterly subtasks. In my case, that will always keep the sum below $65,536, and when I sum the year it will be obvious from 4 quarterly values if it has rolled over multiple times or not. I will email MLO again about some sort of 'Cost' variables, so I don't have to torture their app in the way I do. thanks for your thoughts, TS On Wednesday, January 2, 2019 at 6:24:21 AM UTC-6, TS OGrady wrote: > > I have been using the 'Time Required Max and Min' as a way to tally up > costs for projects.
