The markup percentage esitmates do not appear as a seperate line item and would like to determine how the dollar values can be listed raw and then values for each perspective percentage? "

If you are adding a percentage line to an estimate at www.meanscostworks.com , once you click ADD, a separate window will open and ask you which items to apply the selected percentage to. Once the percentage has been added, the affected line will be followed immediately by a line with the same line number. This additional line will have a not indicating the adjustment, and the dollar value of the 2nd line will be the additional amount. So if five adjustment (percentage) lines were applied to an estimate with 2 lines of data, then that estimate would have 12 lines total. The first line would be the first data line, followed by 5 adjustment lines for that line number, followed by the 2nd data line, followed by the 5 adjustments for the 2nd data line. Please let me know if this is what you were driving at, you may need to call on the toll free.
