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.

Is there a method in P6 that I have missed to see by manpower count " task to fix it " takes 2 millwrights.   I can see the budgetted manhours but I was asked if I could (like in MSP) if I could indicate the number of trades people assigned to a task.   Have I just missed something.

Thanks Tom looks like that will work for what we are doing.   Already well into the project and have made a productivity adjudtment ( lowering from 1 to .5 by adjusting durations ) so I'mnot sure how that effect the labour hours but we will see.

Ron,

There may be better ways, but I've used the "Calculate Average" option for the Usage profiles and spreadsheets - with "Base on Hours per Time Period" checked.  The corresponding unit of measure that I use is "LEM" for "labor equivalent men."

Good luck, tom
