Resource Usage Chart (how to NOT display zero hours worked)
in [Project]
|
From: Kellie F. <Kellie on 13 Jan 2006 11:20 I've done a resource usage chart, but on all the days where there is no work to be done, it says "0h". Is there any way it could be left blank instead of saying "0h"? If there is no way to do that, is there a way to do conditional formatting, e.g., bolding or highlighting all non-zero hours? The chart is almost impossible to read as it is right now. "0h" looks a lot like "8h" when you're looking at a gigantic 11x17 chart. Please help!! I've spent many, many hours on this chart,thinking I'd figure out how to fix this problem, but I haven't had any luck. I'd hate for it all to be for nothing. Thank you in advance!!
From: Mike Glen on 15 Jan 2006 17:30 Hi Kellie , Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-) I don't know where all the Oh's are coming from - there are none on any of mine. I suspect corruption of some sort. You could try the suggestions in FAQ Item: 43. File Bloat? - Might be Corruption. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address:http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm If not, we need to discover whether your project is at fault, whether it is Project at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does the symptom occur with other projects on this PC? Does it occur with this project on other PCs? Does it occur with other projects on other PCs? Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)) Mike Glen MS Project MVP F. wrote: > I've done a resource usage chart, but on all the days where there is > no work to be done, it says "0h".

From: Kellie F. on 16 Jan 2006 09:17 It's actually a zero, not an "O". It's technically correct with the zeros, but it's just not what I prefer. There has to be a way for me to set preferences for this, but I cannot seem to find it.

Mike, There is nothing wrong with the way Project is working; it's just not displaying the chart the way I PREFER. I apologize if I've done a bad job of explaining this. I looked at the FAQs and tried what you suggested, but I really think you misunderstand what I'm asking about. This seems like something I should be able to set in tools-options. Remember that this is a Resource Usage chart, not a Gantt chart. Here's what I want: For days when I have not entered any hours for a particular task, it's displaying a "0h" (that's ZERO h), presumably for zero hours, when I'd really prefer that the cell be left blank. What I have is a huge chart filled with "0h" in almost every cell. It's hard to pick out which days and tasks say "8h" in the sea of "0h"s. I hope I've done a better job of explaining it this time.
