Hi,
Can some one please help me on this resource analysis? It’s been easy before in MSProj, now using P5, I’m some what lost on the resource issue.

I have a group of resource, let us say group of bricklayers and the limit (max unit/time) is as stated there. I want to know how many more bricklayers (the limit or max unit/time) should be added by now, to finish the job (as well as finish those late or pending items since April if any) by end of July. Assuming today is June 30 already. Overallocation amount is really very high!

Thanks a lot!

    Just a follow-up on my previous post below.
    The direct question will be, what equation/variable will I use to calculate how many more persons should be added on my current resource pool of bricklayer to finish the project by July? Take note there are still remaining early/late units being reported as of June.

    There are multiple variables being reported by P5 as shown below...
    Actual Units
    Available Units
    Budgeted Units
    Cum Actual Units
    Cum Budgted Units
    Cum Rem Early Units
    Cum Rem Late Units
    Limit
    Overallctd Early Units
    Overallctd Late Units
    Remng Early Units
    Remng Late Units


    So what is the correct equation and variable to use? Is it Cum Budgeted Units (on July) - Cum Actual Units (July) + Remng Early Units (June) + Remng Late Units (June) - Limit (July) ?? Is that it?
