Just tried it, This has no effect on the problem :( All I can think of is to delete/reinstall the program. What a pain. As if something got corrupted... Scott

Just updated the August 2015 update (at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3055022). There were no glitches updating, but I'm still having the same problem. That is, it's fine in every view except Resource Usage. I can move around just fine in the present screen, highlighting any...

Ah yes - I'll give that a try. Thanks Scott

Is this happening for anyone else? I am running MS Project Pro 2013 on a Win7 machine with 6 GB Ram and no issues. I'm managing a large project and the Resource Usage view is very clunky. In particular, when I have a resource that has a large number of assignments - that extend down past the...

Amazing what a little sleep can do for the brain :) Scott

Oops - nevermind. I figured it out. My code only changed a label, but not the actual variable to ActualWork. It works fine with the correction. Scott

Can anyone explain to me why there are values reported for ActualWork when there shouldn't be in the following situation? I'm working with a dummy MPP that I created and I've assigned Work hours to the first seven tasks (through WBS 1.1.7). When you switch to the Task Usage view, you can see...

I'm using Project 2013 Professional and the new & improved Reporting module. How come I can produce a nice chart of a particular resource's total hours to be Worked by Month, but I can't output the same data as a table to show exact monthly tallies? In other words, when I create a chart, and...

Ok so now it's working - the Resource Pool was the culprit. Somehow it linked; and upon opening the file one day, I was given the option to delink it. That did the trick. Scott

Hi Mike Thanks for the resource pool tip. Also, there is no sub project in play at all. Scott

I'm not so sure it was a file corruption issue now. I did try the suggestions in the previous post. No "Links Between Projects" were shown, and the XML translation step never worked. It saved as an XML ok, but when I tried to open it up as an XML, it showed an "import error" and referenced a...

Not working in Project Server. No resource pool either - at least not one that I've deliberately created. But I just opened the newer file to check (and along with it opened yet again the previous version). I just found that in Resource Pool under Share Resources, the "Use Own Resource"...

Hi There, I am working with a large single project in MS Project 2013 Pro. As I develop the project and major changes in project strategy occur, resulting in me needing to extensively edit the tasks, I have simply taken the latest MPP file, saved it with a new name, and started making task...

I just discovered that each assignment for a resource has an Assignment Information box (double click on any resource's task in Resource Usage view). And the box has a Notes tab, which is apparently unique to each resource in each task. I am in the process of developing specific Scope of Work...

I've never heard that but it makes sense. Thanks for clarifying it Scott

You mean, put them in separate tasks? Scott

I'm using MS Project Pro 2013 and am fine tuning the cash flow of a project, where I'm having trouble getting the costs to span the project duration. In particular, I have a task, let's call it "Balance of System", which has multiple resources assigned. The largest one (90% of the total for...

A given material resource may be used in a couple different tasks, one of which i want to negate for the report, and the other not. So i have a custom flag field on which i can filter and then do as you suggest. Not perfectly elegant, because i have to remember to reactivate the tasks after...

yes there is about a $500 difference; so it depends on your price sensitivity; but read up on the differences as I mentioned, and see if it seems worth it to you. One of the differences is the ability to designate Tasks as "inactive" or not. I find that very useful for what-if analysis. In...

I'm using MS Project Pro 2013 and having trouble getting certain tasks to disappear from the cost model. In a 500-task project, I have about 15 tasks sprinkled around that have negative costs (they are Materials-type resources, which I think is the only way I can get a negative number in the...
