Resource Usage - Roll-up Tasks to Count Hours

[SBARR]

When I am in the Resource Usage view, I want the WBS hierarchy I've created
in the Tracking Gantt to be represented. I don't want to have to count
hundreds of lines of hours to gather a final count of hours for one task, I
want to roll up "Task 1" and see how many hours total, in this task, did the
resource use? Is there a way to customize this view so that I can get an
hour count easier?

SBARR,
First, realize that either Usage view is a combination view. It will
contain Resources and assignments or Tasks and assignments, but
assignments are not tasks.

Your question is very similar to a post in this newsgroup by
Radioactivedad on January 31st of this year. Take a look at that post
and its thread and see if perhaps the solutions presented there
adequately address your issue. If not, post back and tell why those
solutions won't work.
