Reporting of Calendar Exceptions

[Steve Scott]

My resources are adding in Calendar Exceptions for holidays. Is it possible
to create a report which extracts specific exceptions eg Holidays and reports
eg no of days being taken for holidays? Can this easily be done in Project
2007 standard?

Hi Steve,

If you create a new resource report and on the Details tab, select
Calendar, you can print out the list of exceptions (non-working
time) placed on the resource's calendar. The number of non-working
days is not available on the report.

The visual report "Work Availability" will also show a lower
availability due to non-working time. Again the specific difference
is not shown but you could do some relatively easy calculations to
show the number of non-working hours.

As a suggestion, if the holidays are company wide, I'd add them to
the project calendar. Then the exceptions really are exceptions to
the company-wide calendar.

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

Hi Steve
MS Project doesnt do this too well.
I use a resource usage view with a daily timescale, and where there is no 8h
in the cell, they are not planned to be "in": absent due to calendar public
hols or planned absences.
