Remaining Work Hours Subtotals

[sharyn]

Hi. I must be doing something wrong but when I look at the
roll up of hours the subtotal seems quite a bit higher
than the actual addition of the hours. For example:

Remaining Hours Subtotal (per MS Project): 88
Remaining Hours Subtotal (per my addition): 44
Task 1: 4 hours
Task 2: 4 Hours
Task 3: 4 hours
Task 4: 8 hours
Task 5: 8 hours
Task 6: 8 hours
Task 7: 8 hours
I have only one person assigned to these tasks--same
resource for all the tasks in this case. The Task is set
to FIXED UNITS with EFFORT DRIVEN checked.

What am I doing wrong? I have a more complex project with
subprojects and the total of Remaining Work is so far off
that I can't use it. All help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Guess what--I figured it out by reviewing similar issues
posted in this forum... the problem was that I had a name
shown at the SUMMARY task level and that is why the
additions were off. After I removed the resource at the
summary task level, the additions were correct!

Perhaps someone else can be helped by this.
