(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.

My problem is how to explain the values on the left compared to the values on the right of the resource curve in p6.
I have different values displayed on the left from that on the right.
Somebody help me.
view show on bottom resource usage profile
on the left bottom select your resource
on the right hand side bottom
right click select Resource USage Profile Options
click on Graph
on the bottom under additional Duiplay options
check claculate Average and check Base on hours per time period
this way as you change your time scale the to months, weeks or days the value that the manhours gets divided by will adjust according to the timescale.
The resources must have 50 hour calendars or Overtime Allowed selected and Overtime cost selectable. The projects must have 50 hour calendars. You can actualize anything, but P6 calculates based on calendars.
Use Stacked Histograms selectable as all or any resources for all or any activities in all or any projects, with ALL projects and activities being the operator for determining overallocations to 'This Project' selectable all or any resources.
To wit: Open all projects and all activities that every resource is working on or get a partial report. A good project filter is Resource Teams.
Right click and select Options/Preferences, selecting PS as Timescale, checking Show Available Units, Show Overallocated Units and display the Limits liine. Now scale it by setting the timescale period to show the number of weeks you focus on in one pane and slide the current date into the view.
The cumulative values lines show, et al, planned over actuals in the S Curve, but remember they are cumulative, not period values. Thus they are not pertinent but are confusing here, so ditch them in Preferences, generally.
S Curve is X Axis = Timescale and Y Axis = Values. You want manhours, so the values are Units instead of Costs in Preferences. The stacked histograms will show actuals in blue (only left of the Data Date), allocated in yellow with overallocated extending in red above the project calendar driven Limits line.
It is a good graphic to show manpower shortfalls, but not the easiest way to assign resources. Use Resource Assignments in the same all projects, all activities Resource Teams filters.
instead of Labour type resource, change it to Material type
