[Measures].[Work] not what I expected

[Al Himler]

I was putting calulated field in Project Server's Portfolio Manager (Proj
Server 2003) to calculated Planned Utilization. I expected to use the
calculation: [Measures].[Work] \ [Measures].[Availability], but got an
unexpected answer of 200%.

When I created a field to spit back the value in [Measures].[Work] for a
given Month, I found that it was equal to 336 sometimes, 352 sometimes, and
304 sometimes. For the same months the value of [Work] that is displayed is
1 (for 1 hour each month). What is the difference between [Measures].[Work]
and [Work] and how can I use [Work] in a calculated field?

Thanks,

Al
