I am managing a 3 year project in a country where the average annual inflation rate is 12%. Instead of going through every item and entering "+12%" into the cost rate table for each item, is there a way the rate increasing automatically for all resources over the 3 years in MS Project Professional 2016?
The simplest and most repeatable way to do this is with a macro/vba procedure. Here's some code that John - Project created and shared on msdn some years ago (VBA Macro Help - Cost Rate Tables).
Option Compare Text
Sub NOVA_Rates()
Dim r As Resource
For Each r In ActiveProject.Resources
'jump around blank lines on Resource Sheet
If Not r Is Nothing Then
'only do this if resource is labor type
If r.Type = pjResourceTypeWork Then
'first clear all pay rate data
'Note: this is necessary if the macro is run a 2nd time with
'the same data. Additional code is necessary to add new data
'to existing pay rate tables and clearing may not be necessary.
For i = 1 To 5
'cycle through each of the 5 rate tables
Set pr = r.CostRateTables(i).PayRates
pr(1).StandardRate = 0
pr(1).OvertimeRate = 0
pr(1).CostPerUse = 0
'clearing must be done in reverse order
If pr.Count > 1 Then
For j = pr.Count To 2 Step -1
pr(j).Delete
Next j
End If
Next i
'set new object for "B" table only
Set pr = r.CostRateTables("B").PayRates
'add new rate data based on Resource Text1 field
If InStr(1, r.Text1, "Proj") > 0 Then
pr.Add "7/2/2011", "$1/h", "$5/h", "$0"
ElseIf InStr(1, r.Text1, "elec") > 0 Then
pr.Add "7/2/2011", "$2/h", "$6/h", "$0"
ElseIf InStr(1, r.Text1, "mech") > 0 Then
pr.Add "7/2/2011", "$3/h", "$7/h", "$0"
End If
End If
End If
Next r
End Sub

Everything below the hyperlink belongs together in a single module in project vba. I don't know how to control that here. – Tom Boyle Oct 10 '18 at 15:17
