Reporting on a shared resource pool

Hi, and thanks in advance for any assistance that you may be able to provide.

I am using MSP 2010. I have multiple schedules, that I have setup to use a Shared resource pool.

I would like to be able to generate a report that shows task assignments for each resource in the resource pool grouped by the project name.

I am finding that when I create the "group" to group by project, it is not working because it is always returning the name of the shared resource pool project as the project...i.e. a single group called "Shared Resource Pool".

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Stuart

Can you check the below article on "Add resources to the enterprise resource pool" and see if that helps you out:

Thanks - I have had no problem adding the shared resource, it's just a matter of now pulling out a sensible report on the data. Still have not worked this out.

Assuming you want to group first by Resource and then by project:

Open the Pool file and display the Resource Usage view.
Create a custom group with the following definition:
Group by:
Field: Name
Type: Resource
Order: Ascending
Then By:
Field: Project
Type: Assignment
Order: Ascending

In order to group by Assignment, you'll need to check the option "Group assignments not resources."
