Greetings.
I have a master project file: in it are 3 embedded project files, eac
of which represent an apartment building we are constructing. M
structure then looks like this.
Site-wide Master project (parent)
Building A (daughter)
Building B (daughter)
Building C (daughter)
I wish to use the resource usage view to display all of the financial
for all of the projects according to our standard apartment item cod
breakdown. We use a two part resource item code in the form (AAA-99).
Every resource that gets entered into our project has one of these ite
codes. My intention is to group by the two different levels of th
outline resource code. In terms of the group by screen I have th
following:
Group first by: 1st level of resource code i.e. the (AAA) part of th
code (AAA-99).
Then Group by: 2nd level of resource code i.e. the (99) part of th
code (AAA-99).
This works wonderfully in the daughter project files: I go into one o
those, perform the grouping as described and I get a wonderfull roll u
of our resource usage according to my two tier outline code.
The problem comes when I try to do the same sort of grouping with
hierarchical project structure. If I attempt to group like above wit
the added restriction to group by Project first, I infact get th
roll-ups to the daughter projects, but MS Project does not seem t
recognise that the master project has any sort of master status: i
considers it to be on the same hierarchical level as the daughters.
That's lame. I would really like to have the daughters grouped b
outline code, but I would like all of their financials to roll up to th
master summary level.
Does anybody have any suggestions
