Total resources per day

3326ubb,
Project's leveling function can be limited to a selected span of time
but not for a specified number of resources. So to answer your direct
question, "no", but . . . there is generally always a way if you are
willing and able. I'm not sure it would be worth the effort, but there
should be a way to use a VBA macro to either, a) selectively employ time
based leveling, or b) te the leveling function with a custom
algorithm. If I were doing it, I would use the latter.

I'm not sure this would help, but can you break the overall project into
sections or phases wherein there are 40 or fewer resources associated
with each? It will still require a significant amount of effort to
monitor everything but then that's what a Project Manager does.

Hope this helps.

How to allowing view (or read) access to all projects?

Nock --

In the future, please post your Project Server questions to the
microsoft.public.project.server newsgroup, as this newsgroup is devoted to
the Microsoft Project desktop application only. To answer your question,
refer to the following FAQ:

Hope this helps.

Underallocation of resource

Posted: 10 Jan 2006 01:39 PM PST

Hi Tim,
You're welcome for the assistance thus far and thanks for the additional
information.
The scenario you describe about contoured work for a resource frequently
comes about as a result of tracking actual data. For example: a resource is
initially assigned at 80% to a 5 day duration tasks, the planned work is 6.4
hours per day. If I record 5 hours of actual work on day 1 the percent
allocation for that day drops to 63% -- the resource didn't work the
original hours scheduled and the remaining 1.4 hours of work is scheduled
into day 6 at an allocation of 18%. Even if I change the contour of the
assignment back to flat, it does not affect any actual work recorded.

The splits you are seeing may be as a result of either resource leveling
(leaving the option "Leveling can create splits in remaining work" enabled)
or by using the Update Project command and rescheduling incomplete work.

I hope this helps. Please post again if this doesn't describe your
scenario.

Can I import data from Excel into Project?

Posted: 10 Jan 2006 10:41 AM PST

Hi slwaite,

No sorry. The import from Excel to Project does not link the data. As Dave
mentioned you can paste link data from Excel to Project but those links are
fragile and may easily become corrupt.

You can track the hours spent working on tasks within Project directly
instead of tracking in Excel and trying to transfer the data back to
project.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I appreciate it.

Need help with resources

Glad you got it worked out. As you work with Project, you'll find that
many things are order dependent. Do the same steps but in a different
order will give entirely different results. It's the nature of the
beast. And once you've assigned a resource to a task, if you change the
assignment or add more resources, you get very different results. When
I work with my clients, particularly in the area of resource
assignments, after I figure out what results they want, I create a
protocol of how to get that result. I then tell them to always follow
that exact protocol if they want that result. Avoids a lot of problems!

Hope this helps in your world.

Thanks Rod - I found the little buggers, They were on permanant coffee break.

Of course, this begs the question: If this is old and flaky technology -
then what is the better way to handle this type of thing?
