Resourse Allocation multiple projects

In the Open Standard

I have set up a resourse pool to utilise over numerous projects, however when I view a report of resource allocation I only see a massive list of tasks, with no way of identifying which project they are associated with (except memory). I tried adding a number field in the actual project (as opposed to the resouse pool) but this does not seem to be coming up in the resource pool.

If anyone has any different ideas on how to identify the tasks or can give me advise on fixing my attempt I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
Ian

    Ian,
    in the Using Tasks or Using Resources view, Insert a column on the left of the Task / resource column, and display the Project name; note that task views are mono-project only, and resource views multi-project.
    Hope this helps,
    Alexandre

    Is there a way of producing stacked resource histograms in MSP? I am running MSP2000.

    Paul,

    No there isn’t - not to any great extent. You’ll have to download the data via the Analyse Data In Excel tool bar.

    Once you have it in Excel, it’s just a matter of compiling the chart as per normal process. I’ve done this on several occasions. The only real limit is that there only about 10-15 different colours that you can differentiate.

    James,

    Thanks for that, I thought that was the case, but it was worth asking.

    I am pasting the data straight from the task usage table and manipulating it in Excel.

    I see you are working in Gloucestershire.

    Barnwood by any chance?

    Thanks again,

    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Dunno what the Admin’ people have done to the geographical things - but they cocked-up when they changed it all around. I aint in Gloucestershire. I’m in Bristol. If you know of Barnwood (as I do), I guess you’ve worked there. Got any good stories to tell?


    Cheers.

    James.

    James,

    I have worked there.

    I was working for the FMA consortium a couple of years ago on a project for Sizewell B.

    I am too polite to repeat any stories about the place on a PP forum though.
