Defining project variables

On the Project Variables tab, you can define project-wide global variables and variables that change over the timeline of your project. You can reference these variables in calculators that you create on the Calculator tab.

Procedure

  1. On the Project Variables tab, use the command line or the + button to enter the name, type, and value of the project-wide variable. You can define complex project variables as you create complex calculations in the calculator. For example:
    numUsersProject = T(1000,1500,2000)
    costPerUserProject = N(100,10)
    costProject = numUsersProject * costPerUserProject
  2. To use any of these project-wide variables, on the Calculator tab and within a calculator tape, refer to the names of the variables. For example:
    numUsersLocal = T(300,350,400)
    costPerUserLocal = N(50,2)
    costLocal = numUsersLocal * costPerUserProject
    costTotal = costLocal + costProject
    Note: Within a tape, if you define a local variable with the same name as a project variable, the local variable masks the project variable.
