To add a calculation to a resource, complete the following steps:

  1. Display the Resource view of the resource file that you want to update.
  2. In the Resources grid of the Resource view, select a resource or child resource.
    You must select a resource that has a result assignment.
    Note: Resources that already have result assignments are denoted by .
  3. Select the Calculations tab.
  4. On the Calculation pane of the Calculations tab, select the result for which you want to set up a calculation.
