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...
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...
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'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...
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...
Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting custom field formulas to work consistently. Of the four I've created, only one works right, and I can't see any difference in what I've done for the other three.
Here's the situation: I am running a project (MS Project Pro 2013 on a Win7 system) that has to...
Hey all,
I am setting up a construction oriented project (about a $1.3 million total budget) and want to use MS Project (2013) to manage the project details. I also need to closely manage the accounting side so that my company can pay invoices, employees, subcontractors and the like, all...
Hi, I suspect this may not be possible from the reading I've done, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas. I have a construction project and the construction period starts at some point about 6 months from now, after a series of lead-up tasks are complete. During that construction...
I'm puzzled by seeing all my project costs start to show up one month early. This is for a major $1.5 million 2-year grant where the official grant contract start date is 7/1/13. However, I've started the plan in MS Project on 4/1/13 so I can track some pre-contract tasks. I've created a...
