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.

Looking for some expert help.  I'm creating some resource profiles for various projects.  My problem is that using the profile within P6, the cumulative cost curve is in the same color as the vertical bars (using either budgeted or remaining early or late units).  The cumulative cost curve is hidden by the bars of the same color.  I don't see any way to change the color of the cumulative curve independently of the vertical bars.  Is there a solution to this within P6, or do I need to export to Excel?  Thanks in advance.

in the lower right hand side graphics area right click and select Resource Usage Profile Options

this is where you can change the colors of the histogram bars as well as the cumulative curves.
