2.=?Utf-8?Q?Importing_=E2=80=9CActual_Labor_Hrs=E2=80=9D_int?= =?Utf-8?Q?o_MS_Project?=

Has anyone written a macro for importing actual labor into MS Project? Would 
you be willing to share it with the group?  

I am currently trying to manage all our jobs/projects in one master file 
with a common resource pool of labor resources.  All of the tasks within the 
master file that have assigned resources have their own unique task name per 
a designated Job/WBS Task structure (using an inserted custom text field in 
the Gantt Chart view (or might plan on using the WBS numbering tool that is 
available).

Job/Task structure example:
300-1-1
300-3-3
319-5-2
320-1-4

We record our weekly actual labor hours in an Excel sheet using the 
following fields:
Employee ID
Job/Task
Date Worked
Hrs Charged

I am hoping the procedure would be as simple as opening the master file and 
running the macro using the identified/specified Excel file containing the 
information. 

I realize there might be some error checking issues that would need to be 
addressed such as hat if the Excel file has a Job/Task ID that is not 
listed in the Project file, ectmaybe that can be solved by the routine 
first checking to see if all of the Job/Task ID exist and issuing an error 
message if they do not prior to importas you can see I am not a programmer, 
but am trying to think like one).

Is this possible?  Or does anyone else have any thoughts on how to get 
actual labor into Project easily?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

The OK button on this screen does not work.  After entering a formula and

The only way to get out of the screen is by pressing the CANCEL button or

5.=?Utf-8?Q?Want_to_add_mtl_resource_to_task?= =?Utf-8?Q?_and_not_increase_=E2=80=9CWork=E2=80=9D_...?=

I have a resource loaded schedule.  Tasks are fixed duration.  I have 
captured the labor hour estimates in the orkfield.  With fixed duration 
tasks, changes in the labor estimates or duration, dynamically changes the % 
allocated of the resources assigned.  

I have a (non human) resource associated with some tasks.  This resource is 
a abneeded for the execution of specific tasks.  This resource, like all 
assigned resources, has a limited capacity.  Adding this resource to a task 
increases the orkassociated a fixed duration task.  Because the resource 
is not a human resource, I do not want abto increase the orkwhen 
added to a task.  

Adding abto appropriate tasks, with an availability of 100% (8 hr./day, 
Mon Fri), I can see, like other resources, when the resource is over 
allocated.  I know then that I have to consider working more than one shift 
to maintain overall schedule.  In actuality, using  the Lab does not increase 
the labor estimate for a taskbut MSP does increase the orkwhen any 
additional resources are added to a fixed duration task.

I can seem to get MSP to allow me to add a resource (with an availability 
of 100% (8 hr./day, Mon Fri)), without increasing the orkfor that task. 
 I essentially trying to do capacity planning for the lab.

Bottom line I want to add a resource to a task, with an availability of 
100% (8 hr./day, Mon Fri), and have that particular not affect (increase) 
the ork for that fixed duration task.

I hope this clarifies the issue.  Any thoughts are appreciated.
