Shazia,

I don’t see any problem. When I import the XER it gave me the output below:

Baseline

Did you assign Resource Curve? That maybe the cause why and not according to linear distribution. Is it possible to send me a screen shot of what you are getting? By default resource curve is not included on exported XER.



Best Regards,

Rodel

Shazia,

Check your Activity Calendar settings – Working day from Monday – Friday?

Also checked the Planned Date under resource tab (right click-> Select Customize Resources Column-> Date-> Planned Start and Planned Finish) Check if planned date = current date which may have difference. Is OD = RD?

29-July-10 = Thursday, then equals to Thur + Fri = 16hrs 1st wk

02 to 06-Aug-10 = Mon-Fri = 40hrs 2nd wk

09 to 11-Aug-10 = Mon-Wed = 24hr 3rd wk



If planned Finished at 11-Aug-10 12:00AM then you got only 9 days and not 10 days. Another thing to look at is Unit/Time = 8/d, if not then you had over allocated your resource.

GOOD DAY, Mr.Rodel

you help me lots,



I have a resource who will work for 8 hr / day for 10 days, total ( 80 Days)



The activity will be start from 29 july-10 and finished on 11-Aug-10(with 5 days Cal)



however in Activity usage spreadsheet shows first week 16 Units,(mean only 2 days work) and then next week 56 units,(considering 7 *8 =56 Units) while resource will work only 40 hr instead of 56.



Please Advise



Thanks

Shazia,

It’s very simple. Use Physical % complete settings on Percent Complete type then Define this Steps in Steps tab and put the weightings. Under Project Window-> Calculation tab-> Activities tick Activity Percent Complete based on Activity Steps.



Every time you progress your step it will automatically calculate the progress to activity. You can progress the steps normally and no need to wait until it reach 100%. You can enter say 5% or any progress to every step. See sample below
