Project calculates the Cost field. The other cost fields (Cost1 through Cost10) are custom fields that you may use to perform calculations of store other cost information outside of the calculated Cost field.

ok so fist of all I understand that cost 1 2 3 are totally independent of cost column and they are there for us to make any other calculation we want, but we can not alter the formula of cost column to include these correct?
second, I am confused about the formula you wrote for cost column still. (i tried to look for formula of cost column myself but couldnt figure out how). you are saying cost column includes the rates x work which we enter the rates in the resource sheet but then you are also saying it includes cost resources which we also enter in resource sheet so arent they the same thing? I am a little confused about that formula.
