Andrea --

If you want to leave the closed projects in the Project Server database and
still see the hours in the Portfolio Analyzer views, you can remove the
tasks for all closed projects from the timesheets of those projects' team
members by doing the following:

1. Open a closed project
2. Click Tools - Build Team from Enterprise
3. Set the Booking Type for each team member to Proposed
4. Click the OK button
5. Click Collaborate - Publish - All Information
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for every closed project

Hope this helps.
