Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear All,

 

I would like to kindly ask you to help me on below question

 

On Grant Chart I made up column where I have formula. According to this formula the column shows me how many person I need to complete the task till Deadline.

Is there any possibility to set up RULE, Function and etc. where MS Project will take numbers from this column (let's say Number10) and add resources to this task?

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Kindly

Hi Ramil,

You could try some simple vba approach as Larry advised over on MPUG.  Alternately, you could try an approach involving uploading resource assignments from an Excel File.

I wouldn't be overly optimistic with either approach, as MSP seems to be designed from the ground up for manual entry of resource assignments using specific dialogs, with each dialog involving some background processes to interpret and condition your entries. You may need to adjust your automated entries/processes to match what MSP expects to see.
