From: Maanu on 17 Mar 2010 23:29 Hi, When I created a project schedule, the resource usage of certain resouces is more than 200%. Is it possible to view the tasks allocated for a particular resource alone in the gant chart areas to identify what tasks result in overallocation? What techniques I can use to remove overallocation other than resource levelling. Thanks!
From: Jan De Messemaeker on 18 Mar 2010 03:34 Hi Maanu, To the first question: When viewing the Gantt Chart, activate filter selection (behind the text "All Tasks") and use filter "Using Resource" To your second question, and independently from MS project, I see three ways to remove overallocations: 1. On some tasks, replace the resource by an other one. Generally yoiu don't have one available from the shelf :-) But if you have, a nice way to do it on Project is to use the Assign Resoruces window, then click Replace. 2. Decrease the units for the resource on some tasks, thus stretching the duration of those tasks. For a lot of reasons, too long to be discussed here, I dislike this solution. 3. Do what Leveling does for you - delay some tasks that create an overallcation.

Maanu, Build a "combined" view : View / More Views... / New... Type of view : Combination view, OK Top: Resource Graphe Bottom: Gantt Chart the bottom view (Gantt chart) will only display the tasks on which the resource (selected in the Resource Graphe) is assigned to.
