(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.
Hello,
Is it possible to show the baseline in the resource usage profile in order to show a comparison? All I can see is the budgeted units, actual units etc?
I'm looking to use this in order to show how certain changes have impacted the schedule and how the man hours have changed since.
Also, is there a way to put the number of hours per month or week on the graph, i.e below the month? I know this can be done in MSP but I've not found the correct setting in P6 yet (if it exists).
Thanks

Try using contemporaneous methods.
Resource allocation substantially influences project time performance. Impractical allocation may account for the project delay. Unfortunately, current schedule analysis often does not consider a project’s resource allocation. This [the following referenced] paper illustrates that resource allocation can affect the results of a delay analysis. Performing a schedule analysis without considering resource allocations may increase the owner’s or contractor’s risk of assuming delay responsibility which is not his or her fault.
Still for some cases non-contemporaneous methods might be preferable or the only option.
I recommend issuing your question under the Claims Forum where you will be exposed to the pros and cons of contemporaneous methods.
In any case I also recommend you figure it out how to compare to initial baseline resource loading.
Good Luck
Thanks for the help.
Basically I'm trying to show delay and disruption within the plan due to client changes / delays. I need to show this in terms of resource and activity.
Is there an easier way for me to do this without having to restore the baseline, take resource information from that, then the current plan and formatting in excel?

Budgeted Units in resource usage spreadsheet/graph have nothing to do with Baseline Units. It's current schedule's budgeted units. You can select different baselines, even use the current schedule as baseline - this doesn't change the look of Resource Graph Budgeted units becasuse they were drawn based on the current schedule data.

Andrew then use resource usage profile and select your resource
Then make sure that a baseline is attached and select Budgeted units and remaining early
If you cannot see the table in any of the available views try creating a report template, then it shall be available at a single click of the mouse.
Good Luck.
Zoltan - activity usage profile will give you Histogram of all resource assignments to the selected activities - not particular resource.
Emma - the only work around is to manage all through Excel - first get the BL resource distribution then add Progress schedule resource distribution and create graph the way you like.
I don't know why Oracle still not implemented BL data in resource usage spreadsheet/profile.
Andrew
the first answer is use activity usage profile and you can select the baseline and the current histogram and or cummulative curve
the second answer is thet by showing the baseline and the current as listed in the 1st answer you will see these differences
the thrid answer is no but the work around is to select show on bottom resource usage SPREADSHEET and then summarize the values roll it up
