Values not displaying in resource usage view

[Roger]

I have work and actual values in the resource usage view. I can see them in
the summary values next to the resource names on the left side of the view.
When I look at the grid to the right there is nothing there. I can even
enter something in the grid, and it immediately disappears, but the summary
values to the left are updated. What is happening?

Hi Roger,
The only way I can replicate your problem is to change the Font color of the
text to white (or whatever color matches the background of the timescale).
Click your secondary mouse button over the timescale side (right) and choose
Detail Styles... from the shortcut menu. Select "All Assignment Rows" on the
right side of the Usage Details tab, click the Change Font... button and
check the color.

Hope this helps. If the font hasn't been changed I'm not sure what is going
on. Does this happen with all files or just one?

Hi Julie,

That didn't work, and it appears to be isolated to specific resources. I'm
finding other problems in the file including the WBS values are rather messed
up (ex. duplicate numbers, and some of the values look like: 1908.0.0.7.1.1 -
should you ever have 0's in the wbs other than level 0? Why is the value
1908 for line 17 of my plan?, etc. I just noticed too that the value shown
in the WBS column in the Gantt chart doesn't match the value displayed when I
click on the cell and look at the data entry section above the chart. I am
convinced the file is corrupted, but was hoping you might have a way to
uncorrupt the file. Any thoughts?

Hi Roger,

I agree, sounds as if the file is corrupted. See
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

FAQ # 43 "File Bloat? - Might be Corruption" for a possible fix.

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