Roll Up Resource Names

In the Open Standard

Is it possible within the Resource Names column, to roll up resource names to summary tasks so that if three resources had been used on different tasks in a group, these three names would be displayed on the summary line in the resouce names column.

I know it is possible to access this information through other views but want to know if it is possible to customise this view?

Any assistance appreciated

Thanks

    Neil,
    this indeed a FAQ! it is only possible to roll up resource names by writing a macro
    however, I would not roll up my resource names in the Resource Name column, as it would duplicate the resource workload at work package (summary task) level; if necessary, use a custom text field instead

    Thanks Alexandre, good point about rolling up to the Resource Names column, do you know where I might find an example of a macro that would do this please?

    Neil,
    I remember having seen such a macro a few years ago, but I do not know were; that’s too bad!
    Have a look at the MSP newsgroups

    MAYBE THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

    Format the bar chart portion of a Gantt view:

    Go to Display task names for individual .......

    Have some issues with overlapping tasks, unless can be fully resolved I would avoid using this at all.

    Roll up resources

    Hope this helps.
