Im using standard MS Project 2010 for Resource Planning (forecasting). My understanding of Projects VBA is on the lowerside of moderate but i dont even know where to start to acheive this...What Id like to know is, if there is a way to adjust a Resources' TimeScaled Data on a specific task to be the Balance of the other assigned Tasks, so the Resources Total Hours for that week is his max availability? I don't know if that makes sense, so heres an example:
If Bob is working on 2 Tasks (total 30hrs/wk) but when he is not doing that he does "Office Duties" (currently 5hrs/wk). note: the hours on the two tasks are contoured and will vary from week to week, so changing his assignment units to 25% wont work.
Thats only 35hrs/wk, but he's available for 40hrs/wk.
Is there a macro that can work out the total of Bob's 2 Tasks (30) from his total availible hours (40) and adjust the "Office Duties" hours to the Balance (10hrs) for each week of the office duties Duration (but shows "0" in lieu of negatives).
Resource Usage w1 w2 w3 w4 w5
Bob 35 32 35 43 47
Task1 12 10 5 10 20
Task2 18 15 25 25 22
Office Duties 5 7 5 8 5
*Office Duties --> 10 15 10 5 "0" (not -2)
Because this wont apply to all the resources Im guessing i'll need to select the assignment "Office Duties" under Bobs name then execute the macro in Resource Usage View, which Im happy to do.
Is this even possible? Thanks for any insight you can provide.
