Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Rodel,

Do you have contacts with MS Project People. Maybe you can ask them to have presence on PP so that they can answer questions immediately.

With kind regards,

Samer

Jamie,
Below are the steps how.

•From the window menu select "split"

•Select the top panel by clicking in it somewhere. You know it is selected because the bar on the far left containing the name of the view turns darker.

•Go to the view menu and select view - resource sheet.

•Select the bottom panel by clicking on it somewhere.

•Again go to the view menu and select the resource graph view.

•Right click on the resource graph area on the right.

•From the menu that pops up choose "Format Barstyles"

•On the left half of the dialog box that appears (the part marked "Selected Resources") set the "Show as:" BAR or anything except than "Don’t Show".

•On the right half of the dialog box that appears (the part marked "Resources") set the "Show as:" Don’t Show.

•Click OK until you are back to where you started.

•Now select or highlight all resources in the top panel and the chart for all of those selected resources will be shown in the bottom panel.

Sorry Rondel, I never explained myself properly.

Is there a way of displaying multiple resources within the graph and not just individual graphs for each resource?

Thanks.

Jamie,
What do you mean by single graph? If page then change the timeline.

Thanks for your help Rodel.

Is there anyway of getting all the information presented in 1 single graph?

Thanks.

Jaime,
Select View-> Resource Graph. If not satisfied right click the graph and select on different presentation like cummulative, work, remaining etc...
