How to produce resource tasks by day report

[David Dana]

You'd think it would be simple but I can't figure it out.
I want something like this:

Monday, August 23rd
----------------------
Ben Plimpton
NAV: Design new Nav Logo
NAV: Submit new Nav Logo for Approvals

Peiel Tunaligil
PROMOS: Add background to VJ photo

Tuesday, August 24th
-----------------------

more of the same...


There is something close to this in Reports but it comes
with lots of other columns that my management does not
want to see. Also has a habit of ellipsing the task name.

Anybody have any idea? No, I don't have project server
yet.

Hi David,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

When you select your report, click the Edit button and you'll see the report
is based on a Table. So, from the Gantt Chart view, create a new table that
meets your requirements and then reference that in the reports edit.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on )

Ooh... almost!

I need a report just like, "Who Does What" but without
all those extra columns that my managers don't care
about: "Project", "Units", "Work", and "Delay".

This is a "resource report" so I had to make a resource
table. I did, one with only ID, Task Name, Start, Finish
and Resource Name, then I used that table to run the
report and it produced the same thing. Damnit!

Any suggestions?

Hi David,

Without using a vba routine, the best I can offer is to create a new table
with ID, Task Name, Start and Finish columns. Now create a Task report
based on your new table and filter it for Using Resource... When you
Preview the report, it will ask you for a Resource Name (Show tasks
using...) and then list the details for that resource. Vba would allow you
to cycle through the resources to get them all.
