View roles & quantities required for future

Hi,

 

I have 3 projects which I have planned out, and assigned roles to the activities. What I am trying to get the P6 8.4 client to show me is a graph or just numbers of how many of each role we need for each month of the year. I have tried 'Activity Resource & Role Assignments' report and its halfway there, apart from if I need 3 of the same role at the same time it just repeats that information 3 times i.e.

Role             Start           Finish

Role 1       09-02-2015 - 28-03-15

Role 1       09-02-2015 - 28-03-15

Role 1       09-02-2015 - 28-03-15

 

 

Where as I am trying to get it to display the quantity required

Role 1       09-02-2015 - 28-03-15   x 3

Can anyone advise?

 

Thanks

if you are looking at it on a monthly basis 172 is the standard manhours to be worked on a monhtly basis

 

or

8 hours per day

40 hours per week 

or 172 hours per rmonh 

and 2000 manhours per year (this takes into consideration 2 weeks vacation per year)

Hi Zoltan thanks for reply.

 

I followed the instructions and its nearly there.

If I highlight all the roles (rolled up), it gives the the graph, but is there a way to get the graph to distinguish the roles?

Also by calculating the average by 172 the vertical units are 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, can you explain what the 172 does please?

 Thanks

how about view show on bottom resource usage profile

on the left use the upside down triangle to gropu and sort by Primary Role

Roll up the role so that it summarizes the roles

then on the right just right click time scale change to Year/Month

then on the right just right click Resource usage profile options 

on the graph tab check calculate average make sure that it says 172

this should give you what you need
