Hi Planners,
I am getting a problem in Budgeted units. I have assigned budget units and also upted actuals. In columns I can see both units properly. but In resource spread sheet Budgetdd units are not correct. mostly they are statring after few weeks of actuals and lesser units then actuals. Although activites are 100% finished.
Plz guide me what I am missing?? or what kind of problem accured?

Hi Minhas

Can you have a look at your BL and Plan start and finish date.

It seem that then might not be align with your actual dates

If you open the resource tab in the view "activities"; is this ok?
- Sorry, what do you exactly mean by "resources spread sheet"? Is it the "resource usage spreadsheet"?
- Is there a filter in the resource usage spreadsheet?
- View Projects --> tab "resources" --> "Drive activity dates by default" is it marked? Per activity you can access this parameter as well per activity: right mouse button --> columns --> category "general" --> ...
Hope this helps
Dieter

Couple things you need to check

1. Resource assignments - Plan units does it add up to Activity level
2. Resource Assignment - Plan Start same as activity level
3. Plan Cureve is base on correct baseline schedule
4. You select the right preference in the summaried data, Time scale = Week or day or month, that will affect it on the tracking view but it will be ok if you open the project and display it live
