Hi, Marvin. You can stuff a single number into a task in the "effort required " field. It's denominated in hours bit you can put in 100 hours to represent $100, or use one hour 40 minutes (=100 minutes). What I don't know is how to get a total. My best idea is to look for a way to export your mlo/windows profile to a spreadsheet and take the tot as ls and averages there. Still have to use multiple tools bur at least the work breakdown and budget come from the same source.

I live out of MLO for my tasks and Evernote for my notes. Recently I've
been using Evernote more and more as it does nice formatting and allows me
to add pictures. The notes are really nice there. I know that MLO isn't
intended to hold note-like information long term like Evernote, but I keep
jumping between the two to find where I've put recent information. Sorta
drives me nuts.

But, to add to the mix, I'd like to add some really simple budgeting data
into the mix and don't know where/how to do it with the least amount of
work. I'm working on refitting an old sailboat. I have a growing pile of
notes on information that I want to apply to the tasks I want to do, I have
a whole section in my MLO profile dedicated to managing the project. Now, I
would like to tack on a single number to sum up the projected costs. Just
one number added to some of the items in MLO so say that I'm budgeting $100
for a bilge pump. Where do I put that info and how do I extrapolate that
'automatically'.

I've really wished that MLO had a single numeric field that you could ask
it to average or sum up the tree, or that you could pull out of filters.

How do you manage this kind of info? Do I have options other than just
opening up a spreadsheet and entering all the info in there, essentially
duplicating my information and having me to now deal with cross referencing
everything manually?

Marvin
