Hi

1. You can use insert resource assignment to assign one resource for many activities

2.For generation of resource histogram use graphical resource and choose the assigned resource name

Hi,

I have not loaded any cost to any activity, i have just assigned the different resources to concernd activities and fix the different unit prices of resources for each.

I just want to get two reports only, one is manpower histogram and another one is budgeted cost or quantity.

Thanks for your quick responses,,,,

Hi

I am not sure about your procedure. Give a try by following the steps shown below

1. Create a resource in the resource dictionary and assign price per unit in the same dialog box

2. Choose the activity which requires cost to be loaded and fill in budgeted quantity

3. Budgeted cost will be automatically generated for the budgeted quantity assigned activities using the formula Budgeted Quantity * Price/unit = Budgeted Cost

Hi,

Once again thanks alot,,,,

First Report (Manpower Histogram)

Yes i have created resources in the resource dictionary and assignd price per unit in the same dialog box and assigned the different resources to different concernd activities, for generating the resource histogram i m using graphical resource / table and choosing the assigned resource name, but graphs and tables are empty, showing nothing except resource name, please help me to get the resource histogram or total required manpower,,,,,

Second Report (Budgedted Cost)

Its mean to get the budgeted cost i have to have quantity and i have to fill quantity to each and every concerned activities. is there any short way to get the budgeted cost, please let me know ???

Thanks & Best Regards,

Nasir

First Report

Check the date tab under the graphical report ---> Resource & Cost and assign your project start and finish date

Second Report

To my understanding, to get Budgeted Costyou need to have Budgeted Quantity & Price/unit, other way is to create a resource named cost and assign that resource to all the activities ( fill budgeted quantity value as same as Cost workout you did separately ) and make price per unit as 1 to get budgeted cost

Hi,

Once again thanks alot for your help,,,,

First Report

I have check the date tab and assign the start and finish date as per project dates, but the generated report is again blank :((

My procedure to get the manpower histogram is

Tools ---> Graphic Reports ---> Resource & Cost ---> Summarized Resources

Second Report

For the Budgeted Cost, i got it as per your procedure, thanks alot

Best Regards,

Hi

1. Have quick check at the resource selection option, that whether you are selecting the right one (For resource histogram under graphical reports )
2. Another option is you can get resource histogram from the print view option and uncheck all the option except the resource histogram /table ( To get that first select resource/cost profile in the activity column window and then go to print view, uncheck the activity column option, bar and choose the option related to resource)

Cheers
