Actual Work mismatch

[Andrea]

Hi,

why in a project plan the total of actual work (in left side pane) in Gantt
Chart view is different from the total of actual work in the Resource Usage
view (left side pane).

Thanks for your help

Hi Andrea,

The Actual Work field in the Gantt chart view shows the amount of Actual
Work for all resources assigned to that tasks.
The Actual Work field in the Resource Usage view would show the actual work
for that specific resource on the assignment. If there are multiple
resources, the actual work will not match.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi Julie,

Of course I know that Resource Usage view shows the amout of actual work for
a specific resource but it also show a total of all resource actuals. What I
wanted to know is : Why the BIG total of Gantt Chart view is different to the
Resource Usage BIG total?

Thanks,
Andrea

Where exactly do you see a big total (meaning for the whole project?) in the
resource usage view?
