Resource Allocation - Force no overloading

J

Jim Aksel

I have a multi task project with fixed duration tasks. The tasks are linked,
many occurr in parallel, others are single. On any one day, I cannot state
precisely how many tasks are on going. It could be 1 task, 2, or as many as
12. This varies by day throughout the project duration. No work or resources
assigned just yet. Tasks are various durations, generally 3 days to 10 days.

I need to be able to select several tasks and assign a resource to them.
The trick - regardless of the number of tasks selected, the amount of work
assigned on any day is: 8/(Number of tasks that are selected that have to be
worked that day).

Example: Resource1 should be assigned to 11 tasks -- 2 may be working today
(4 hours each today), tomorrow is the same 2 plus one more task (8/3) is
2.667 hours/task. Then on day 3 there is only 1 task so he is assigned a full
8 hours for that day to the one task.

I am off to VBA aren't I?

I'm not sure, Jim, if that can be achieved even with vba! Try posting on
the developer newsgroup.

Software is not allowed to win. It shall bend to my wish once I get some
ideas from the developer group. Thanks Mike.
