I found a way to remove the budgeted units after the activities get actuals at a previous date.What i am trying to do is to run a global change where i make planned start and planned finish equal to actual start and actual finish. Since the resource allocation is distributed along planned dates and these do not change to actual dates.Hence now when i view the profile the actuals come when the activity has actually finished.I would like you to suggest if there are any pitfalls in this particular method.
The problem here is that the graph shows remaining early units and remaining late units, which are equal to the planned start and planned finish of the activity. And the planned start and planned finish dates have been tampered by my client while updating the schedule. Now the only choice with me is to use global change to set planned dates equal to early dates but i am still not sure of the results it will have on my schedule as a whole.

Hi Amit
There is a difference between budgeted, remaining and actual units. I assume remaining units will display what you want to show.
After an activity started, the budgeted units remain as they had been before the start.
After an activitys finish, actual units will show real life whereas budgeted still shows the situation before the activitys start.
In the "Resource Usage Profile Options" youll select actual and remaning units, and youll get what you want.
Hope this will help.
