    Hi gang,

    Is it possible in version (server) 2010 to update resources' cost rates tables in bulk?  I.e., we would like edit the resource profile for a set of resources... e.g., edit table A, B, and C with a common rate (and effective date).  Is this possible without VBA?

    Cost Rate Table A is easy - that's just the Standard Rate.  You could open all of the resources in MS Project and just edit that field like you were using Excel.

    The other tables, I can't think of an easy way to bulk edit without VBA....

    If I edit the Standard Rate field in MsP like Excel I modifying Standard Rate but I don't edit the effective date.

    How can I bulk edit resource cost rate of table A with an effective date ?  Do you know any VBA code or PSI or third party add-on that can help me ?

    See this example using the PSI: http://epmxperts.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/update-resource-cost-rate-using-psi/

    you could change this to do all resources.

    Hi François,

    Our company has developed a VBA app that does this and bit more.  It allows you to export and / or import resource data to and from MS Project and Excel, including all the cost rate tables and their effective dates.

    Here is a short video that demos what and how it does it: http://www.screencast.com/t/HGTb5FMF
