Creating a team project plan by % worked per month

[Amy]

I am trying to creat a project plan for a team and we want to see project
tasks completed by month by & % of time each team memeber worked for that
month. Entire team is working on the same tasks.
For example:

Task X Jan Feb
Jon 20% 10%
Mary 30% 50%

What do the percentages represent? Are you saying in your example that Jon
spent 20% of his total work hours for the month of January on Task X?

Yes exactly what I am saying...any suggestions?

spent 20% of his total work hours for the month of January on Task X?

At first glance, getting the total hours by task and resource, or by
resource then task for that matter, is easy. What's a problem is finding
the total hours the resource was scheduled to have worked on both project
and non-project activity so you can compute the percentage. Honestly, I'm
not sure where you're going with it or what the usefulness of these
percentages might be in terms of managing projects. If you could go into a
little more detail about why you're trying to produce this report, maybe
there's a way to get the equivalent information for you in some other way.
