Distinct Resource Allocation

Hi All,

I have a list of tasks ( Task A to Task Z) each requiring different amount of hours. On the other hand I also have a list of contractors each of which is able to commit to a specific amount of hours.

Is there a excel formula that I can use so that I can meet the following criteria:

1. I need to clear Task A to Task Z in that sequence.

2. Each contractor can only be used once.

3. I want to clear the maximum number of tasks with my limited pool of contractors.

Example:

Dear reader,

occasionally I go back from my daily Software-Projectmangager practice to read some theory.

Once again, I stumbled on a link like this:  https://www.mpug.com/articles/3-incorrect-ways-to-do-scheduling-with-microsoft-project/

Primaver 16.2.5 - importing Global Codes

W
Will Masson 👤 Member for 22 years 8 months

Its been a while since my last confession:

Can someone explain while Global Activity Codes are not importing with the XER file? 

the issue:

Standalone Database in P6 16.2.5 - added new Global codes to the database, updated a schedule with said global activity code then exported file so the Project Manager could manage on his own database.  When PM imported the XER he did not get the asigned codes against the activities.
