Jack,
You are absolutely right (as usual). I hate that when I miss the obvious
simple answer. My face is dripping yellow.

Vertical Text Alignment

oy!
I tried that too. I changed the row height and made the column smaller so
the text wraps. It looks great on the screen, but still puts the text at the
very top of the cell in the preview and in the printout. I'm giving up!

BCWP

BCWS is based on the status date. If you have any actual work after this
date then the two will not match. This is the most common cause for the two
to be different (well, other than the progress actually matching the plan)

how to filter tasks relating to one task

A built-in way of doing this is to go to windows menu / split screen, then
click on the bottom screen and from the view menu choose the "Relationship
diagram.

A more complete form of the macro Jan gave you can be found here:

rjn,
Try Rod's suggestion first but if you aren't able to get any help from
Microsoft, you can buy many different versions of Project on one of the
on-line auctions. A couple of years ago I bought Project 2000 (full
version) on eBay for $100. So if you are "forced" to buy a new disk you
might also consider upgrading to a newer version. If you do upgrade to
Project 2000 make sure what you buy is the full version and includes the
SR-1 update.

Hope this helps.

Schedule Variance - getting a wierd value

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 02:17 PM PDT

Hi Dick
To get results in EV fields the schedule should be:
- resourced,
- costed (hourly or daily rate agaist resources in Resource Sheet view)
- baselined
Then insert eg. columns for SPI and CPI, and progress the schedule.

how to switch off resource overallocation indicator

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 12:57 PM PDT

Hi Elena,

You could set the Max Units for each resource to a value higher than their
highest allocation.
It's like blindfolding yourself, but that seems to be what you ask :-))

last updated or date complete

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 12:13 PM PDT

Hi GF
I think what you are after is being able to set the date the task finished.
Try Tools/Tracking/Update Task.
If you set the finish date Project will assume the task is complete, which
is a reasonable assumption.
Otherwise, check Current Date in Project/Project Information and with the
task selected use the Update Task as scheduled OR Reschedule Task icons as
applicable.
When maintaining schedules like this I like to insert a "current date" line
on the Gantt. Do this by right clicking in the Gantt and then select
Gridlines/Current Date and select the color. Any incomplete tasks in the
gantt on the left of the line need to be either:
- marked as completed
- re-echeduled
- partly completed and re-scheduled
- or deleted

Regards..........Pratta

VB macro- re-assign units to material resources

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 04:36 AM PDT

It's a bug.
Set the assignment unit to 1 in the Add method and then set it to the
correct value directly afterwards.
The Project way of handling material resources is quite a pain sometimes...

setting up working time and calender

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 01:47 AM PDT

Hi Jan,

Thanks again. I ahve tried that too but some how it is not getting through

I have set up the working time and calender for the teams working as in the
pattern below.


Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Crew A D D C N N C C
Crew B C D D C N N C
Crew C C C D D C N N
Crew D N C C D D C N
Crew E N N C C D D C
Crew F C N N C C D D
Crew G D C N N C C D


D-Day shift, N for Night Shift, C for comp off. Does it mean I need to have
multiple calenders for people. The working times are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM for
day and 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM for night shift.

Thanks,

Krishna

Hi,

First, this doesn't show whether a task is delayed (for starters, it has no
comparison to a should-be date - baseline f.i. - ) it just shows the rate of
completion
And how about
Is within 0.01,25: red
Equals 0: no indicator

How do I show resource work per task in Project?

Posted: 18 Apr 2005 11:08 AM PDT

Only problem with using an Excel pivot table is the 256 column limitation on
a worksheet. The poster wanted to have resource names as column headings,
task names as row headings, and work assigned in the cell so defined. If
there are more than 256 resources, we run out of room.

.... And ieven in Project Server, to my knowledge, it is still you to select
the replacing resource isn't it? I don't recal Server to choose it for you.

I would work out the list of tasks in the process first. Then work out
the relationship between them (the filing task MUST occur 15 days prior
to the XX task). Then you can put in a date for the first task in your
process (Customer contacts attorney?) and then the network can give you
the timeline as determined by the logic you have predetermined.

I agree with Steve here that just entering dates will likely cause you
more trouble than just doing this all by hand! :-)

I dearly hope that my book did not lead you to believe that hand
entering the dates would be the way to go here! :-)
