Re: How to record Task hours

If you change the timescale in that view (use the magnifying glass icon with
a - in the middle) to weeks or months, project will take what you enter and
spread it smoothly across that period. So if there were only hours per week,
set the timescale to show weeks and then enter the number.

Hi Julie,

I wish I could collect task information daily. However, these resources do
not work for me and its very hard to get info from them. The best I got was
a total # of hours for the task.

So, when I go to the "Task Usage" I see 2 windows:

on the left window I see:

Task_Name
Resource_1_name
Resource_2_name

on the right window I see:

Days of the week as follow: M, T, W, TH, F.

if it was possible and they gave me hours per day and week.
I could put them in the right window on the days of the week and MS-Project
would know that that's a running total of hours for that task?

Do I have it correct?

Hello jp,

I suggest going to the Task Usage or Resource Usage view and record
on a weekly basis the estimate of how many hours Betty worked in
Actual Work. The first recorded actual work will set the Task
Actual start date (assuming Betty is the only resource assigned) and
the last date should set the Actual Finish date. Make sure there
is no work to the right of the task or set the Remaining Work to
zero as needed.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I have resources working on various tasks and here is my question:
A resource ie "Betty" has told me she has completed her task.
However,
she began sometime in early July of this year and has worked on
this task
on and off due to other project priorities.

So in essence the task has taken about 1 month to complete and
"Betty" has
put in 32 hours of work to complete this work.

Q: How would I record this info in ms project? Thank you.
