resource sheet - max unit column's and calculation of duration

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 12:18 AM PDT

Thanks for the immediate answer and feedback.

Yes agreed, it does change the max units for this resources assignment for
all activities, but it would be of great help if you could
confirm whether the change in max units will have impact on the finish date,
since the duration is same , and percentage allocation varies.,
we feel the start and end dates shoud get re-calculated.

example ....


Activity - Design
duration - 2 days with 100% allocation of 8 work hours
start date - 20th July working day
finish date - 22 July working day
Resource assigement done


Now changing the Max units for the resource to less than 100 units will it
have impact on finish date ?

in case u need any further details, we can provide the same for our
understanding.

Thanks and regards

Critical path does not trace to beginning of project

Posted: 19 Jul 2005 06:38 PM PDT

Hi,

When a task on the critical path gets a constraint, and hence is postponed,
the preceeding tasks now have slack (since they can now be postponed) and
thus are no longer critical.

Summary Task Durations

Posted: 19 Jul 2005 11:30 AM PDT


Try Tools/Options.../Schedule tab and Durations in entered in minutes. If
you have small durations, this should show the Duration in minutes. if it
stll zero, you have other problems.

We need to discover whether your project is at fault, whether it is Project
at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does the symptom occur with other
projects on this PC? Does it occur with this project on other PCs? Does it
occur with other projects on other PCs?

Export Time Phased Data

Cheryl,
Sorry if this is duplicate post - I had a power outage last night and it
messed up my clock.

Unfortunately the "Analyze" utility exports data by assignment.
Therefore, unassigned task data is not exported. There are two choices.
The easiest is to temporarily assign a dummy resource to "unassigned"
tasks and then use the utility, or use an advanced feature of Project,
namely VBA, and create a custom macro to export the exact data you need.
I prefer the latter because it gives me total flexibility, but then, not
everybody knows how or wants to use VBA.

Text fields are another matter. They are not timescaled so the utility
will not work for them. Again you have two choices. One simple method is
a cut and paste from Project to Excel. The second is to use an export
map to export the static (i.e. non-timescaled) data from Project to
Excel. Once in Excel the timescaled and static data can be combined as
desired.

Hope this helps.

Protecting the detail

Jon,
There may be another way that you can also automate. Couple of questions
first:
Are you required to send them the gantt chart?
Can you send only the task names and dates?

resource availability conflict - Project doesn't show me!!!

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 01:58 AM PDT

Thanks for your support. I guess a smart formula would do the trick,
but that's too complex for me.
I fully agree that Project should show a red flag in this case. Is
there any way to ask Microsoft directly?

Can you disable row/ID numbers from printing on a Project Report?

Posted: 15 Jul 2005 11:01 AM PDT

I'm certain that you have good reasons for not printing ID's and row
numbers, but having done this myself, let me explain what happened.

This was a 600 task file that we mailed to suppliers [without ID's] and then
over the phone, had many discussions about those tasks. Trying to find and
discuss particular entries without a row number became almost impossible.
Never did it again.

Adding an additional resource that is available after the task sta

Posted: 15 Jul 2005 09:12 AM PDT


Hi Rickey,

I think Gérard misses a step for you . From the Gantt Chart view,
Window/Split will give you the Task form in the bottom pane. Right click in
the pane and select Resource Schedule.
