Non-work days of a resource

[Carlos Ortigoso]

Hi, friends.

I have a big project with many resources. Everything is working well, but I
have some days when there is no work assigned to a resource. This occurs
because the links among tasks and assignments of the resources.

No problem, it works fine, but I need to view those non-work days of the
resources.

Is there a way to generate a report or a graphic that show me that, i.e, I
need a view like Resource Usage or Resource Graph that show me the days when
the resource have no work assigned to him. Is that possible?

I've tried to make a filter, but I do not know what field to check. Help me,
please.

Thanks in advance,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Try the Resource Graph and right click in the graph and select Remaining
Availability. Ditto with the Resource Usage view.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Carlos,
Is it possible? Definitely. Is it easy to generate such a report? Well,
that depends. If you want a report that shows only those days when a
resource has no assignments, you will probably need to use an advanced
feature of Project, namely VBA. However, if you don't mind seeing data
that gives days of total availability along with partial days you can
use one of two approaches.

For a report, try the built-in report (View/Reports/Workload/Resource
Usage). Edit the report to show the Remaining Availability field. For a
graph, use the Resource Graph. Again display the Remaining Availability
(Format/Details).

Hope this helps.
