Old lesson in P3 resource graph needed

Hello

 

I've not posted on here in years. I have recently reverted to using P3 again after a long spell of using P6.

I am using a resourced schedule which has the resource on the cost, the cost also has a price per unit entered onto each resource.

Giving that the price is really man hours and the price per unit is going to be hours per day I should then be able to assume each resource can only work 8 hours per day so if i exceed 8 hours the resource (price per unit column) would show number of men.

So when i do a report - graphics report on resource & Cost I would add in the parameters of what i want to show in the report/chart.

This part is all fine except for one setting: When choosing the content, P3 gives me the choice to divide by a number.

Does this represent 8 hours a day or how many days in a week?   I am running the reports per week so I can see man power over the project per week.

Should i use this content setting and divide by 8 to get the correct man power (based on 8 hours a day).

or should it be by  7 to divide by 7 days in a week.

The outcome is obviously different............help
