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.

commas in cost accounts

Hi

I've allocated cost accounts to the resource allocation on an activity but, when organising in the activity layout to report on EV per cost account, it groups by 'mech labour' and mech labour,'  with a comma.

It does this for some of the costs accounts but not all. when I check the cost accounts on the activities, they are the same cost account. If I group by cost account in the resource assignment tab, it groups them under one i.e. 'mech labour'. But I can't report on EV in this layout.

is there any reason why a comma separates activities which have the same cost account allocated?

Thanks

Hi Shimmo

Sorry about the delay in replying.

I have multiple resources allocated on some of the activities but not on others. However, some cost accounts with the comma have multiple resources assigned and some without the comma have mulitple resources assigned. So that doesn't seem to be the driver for the comma.

Cheers

Hi,

Do you have multiple resources assigned to the same activity and if you do, are they all assigned to the same cost account?

Cheers
