Anybody got a clever global change to delete resources that have been assigned to activities. I’ve inherited a programme and want to delete all the existing resource assignments and then add my own. 3000+ activities so i really dont fancy doing this one manually, and i’m not yet that up to speed on exporting and importing in excel.

Thanks in advance for any help

    Global Change doesn’t work in this case I’m afraid.

    To do it manually isn’t that effort as it sounds.

    Open your programme --> view "Activities" --> cursor into table area --> push right button --> select "Group & Sort" --> by resource id --> on the right border of your P6-Window you see an icon "assign resources (no 7 from bottom) push --> push "Display: All Resources" --> filter by --> current project’s resources --> then for each group in main window select all activities --> select that particular resource in the assign window --> push icon delete.

    It took me more time for writing than you’ll need to delete all assignments.

    Hope that helps

    Nice one.

    If your replacement resources are a one for one replacement for the existing ones (or in some cases at least) you can use Global Update. Just configure the tool to:- where resource = resource"x" make resource = resource "newx"
    That way you get the new resources in where you want them. Even if it’s only half of the 3000+ tasks it could save you a load of time.

    Only a thought... :o)

    Dieter thanks for replying. That approach would be perfect, except there are other users within my project who use some of these resources. I’m pretty sure if I delete them I’ll be undoing some one elses hard work. Is it possible to do as you suggest but limit it to a specific filter within my project?

    Thanks
