who does what when

[Carlos]

I would like to see a report that shows "who does what and when that is
done". There is a default report that provides this information BUT I would
like to display as "what" the parent task.

For example:

TASKNAME START RESOURCENAME
Feature 1
Requirements Jan 1, 2007 John
Development Jan 10, 2007 Mary

I would like the report to display:
John-Requirements-Feature1-Jan 1, 2007
Mary-Development-Feature1-Jan 10, 2007

Thanks in advance!

You can use the Task Usage View (View/Task Usage). Insert columns as desired.
Another way is directly on the Gantt Chart. Insert the desired columns in
the order you wish (include the Resource column).

Then, you may filter on the resource column if desired.

Carlos,
Unfortunately the built-in reports do not have a lot of flexibility. It
is often easier to customize a view to get what you need or if that is
not possible, more advanced techniques will be necessary.

With the basic Project application, the best you can do is either
include summary tasks under the Details tab of the built-in report or
configure the Task Usage view to display the fields you want. However,
to get the exact format you show, you would need to use a VBA macro to
export Project data to another application (e.g. Excel) and format the
report there.

Hope this helps.
