Hi - Seems this thread has been around before (see below). Has anyone found a solution? This is exactly the problem I have been having and I'm desperately trying to find a work around. I have baseline data at the task and several summary levels
(entered monthly via task entry view.) In the Gantt Table I see all of the Baseline Cost Values in the Baseline Cost column. When I run a standard Visual Report, such as the EV Over Time report or the Baseline Cost Report, no baseline cost data
is exported to Excel. Really? A "Baseline Cost" report that fails to export Baseline Cost? Really? If there is a solution to this or an easy work-around I am very eager to know what it might be. Thanks in advance...

I created a sample project in which I specified no Standard Rate information for each resource, assigned resources to each task, and then I added a Fixed Cost value to each task. I baselined the project. I believe I simulated what you have done. I then applied
the Baseline Cost report, which I suspect is the Visual Report you applied as well. To my consternation, the Baseline Cost is ZERO for every task and for the project! GRRR! The best I can surmise is that this behavior is a bug in the Visual Report. And unfortunately,
I do not know of any workaround. But at least I can confirm the behavior you are seeing. Hope this helps.

There has been a post similar so my apologies if this covers the same ground
..
I've created a simple programme (in MSP2007) and want a cheap'n'cheerful
method of plotting planned costs over time and tracking actual costs which
I'm inputting manually on a weekly basis.
I've added a 'fixed cost' to each task and baselined the project. But when I
try to run a visual report (sorry but I hate this feature in 2007, it was
much easier in 2003), the baseline cost for each task is zero.
Any help ? (OK I know I'm not doing this the right way for the purists - I
just wanted a quick graph !). Thanks.
