P6 - Resource Units Graph not spreading resources correctly

B
Bill Luster 👤 Member for 14 years 7 months

I have loaded my P6 schedule with 17 resources and I have entered "planned" units resource numbers for each resource/each activity.

When I pull up the resource graph, the planned units only show up in the first month (for example: 3 month activity with 96 hours... all 96 hours are in month one). 

I know this is a setting somewhere.  I've searched, but no luck.

Thanks!  Bill

"You can try setting the "Resource Units/Time" for each activity to a value that gives you an even spread over the duration of the activity.  You can add a column "Resource  Units/Time" column in your Resource tab.  You will have to provide a value for each resource in each activity. "

 

I'll be trying that on Monday morning...  That was also recommended by a co-worker, but I didn't have a chance to try it today.  To busy!!!

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Bill

Check the histogram is for selected activities or for all activities

No.  I am not using any resource curves.  I did some searching.  There are some different things I can try.

Anything to do with resource curve type? Front loading or manual curve settings?
