The setting is in - User Preferences - Dates - Units/Time format - Change to (show as a percentage (50%)).
Then in the Activities screen when you go to the resources tab of the Details window, add the column "Remaining Units/Time". This column will be shown as a % of the resource calendar assigned to the resource you add to the activity.
If you leave the Units/Time Format as "Show as units/duration (4h/d)", the Remaining Units/Time column will be represented as hours of the assigned resource calendar. Just be aware when you have the setting in this configuration, the "Durations Format" of the "User Preferences - Time Units" tab will affect how the "Remaining Units/Time" is represented. For example if you set the "Durations Format" to hour, the "Remaining Units/Time" will say 1/h wich is equivalent to 8h/d or 100% if the resource calendar is your standard 8 hour per day calendar.
If you set the "Durations Format" to "Day" the "Remaining Units/Time" will say 8/d wich is equivalent to 1/h or 100% if the resource calendar is your standard 8 hour per day calendar.
assigning resources with a specific % does not exist in P6; the workaround is to assign a specific value in the Remaining Units per Time field; for instance, key in 4 (for 4 hours/day) instead of 50% (50% of 8h/d)

Eric, Sterling, Zoltan,
my mistake! I should have thought a little bit more before posting my answer

create a resource and if you
create a resource and if you are assign it as 8 hours per day it will automatically multiply 8 times your duration so
5 days = 8*5 = 40 hours this is the default basically 1 man per task
export the resource and units (manhours) to excel and make your modifications there and then import back into p6.
