How do I show resource work per task in Project?

I wish to show a column for each specific resource assigned to the project
and the data should be work per task placed in each row.

No, that only shows each recource with a tasks assigned in a list below.
Column 1 should be project tasks, Column 2 and up would show each resource by
name. The data in the table would be work as assigned to each resource.

I understand that may mean setting up a custom column using a formula. Any
ideas on how that may be done?

Hi,

What you are looking after doesn't exist in Project out of the box.


Maybe Im misreading the request but the last reply sounds a lot like
the Task Usage View. Am I missing something?

Hi Brian,

Yes, that was already suggested and rejected by the poster.
He wants a two-dimensional tablme with tasks as onbe dimension and resources
as the other (so time is not a dimension whereas in Project it always is).
It can be done by a VBA procedure filling an Excel sheet.

Hi,

No, I meant using VBA to copy the relevant data into Excel which has the
kind of two-dimensional tables you request. The Project objects part of such
a procedure is pretty straightforward but locating the right cell in Excel
makes it a bit longer to write.

I know he rejected the resource usage but their follow up sounded like
the task usage. Oh well. :)

Only problem with using an Excel pivot table is the 256 column limitation on
a worksheet. The poster wanted to have resource names as column headings,
task names as row headings, and work assigned in the cell so defined. If
there are more than 256 resources, we run out of room.
