Row height issue
Hello, I have been facing recently issue with automatic row adjustment (Microsoft® Project 2016 MSO (Version 2505 Build 16.0.18827.20102) 64-bit): anytime I make any change on any of the rows, Project automatically changes the heigh of some of the rows into random height. Selecting/unselecting Wrap Text does not help - when clicking the Wrap text, the rows are readjusted to single line, but when I make another change in Gant (eg update % Completion), the rows height changes again. So basically after every change in gant, I need to select or unselect Wrap Text (the same result ) to get back single line per row view. I went throught the forum and tried advices: Bar Styles - check all on row 1, Bar Styles - bars without text, Bars/Layout - decrease the bar heigh. Nothing helped so far. Can anobody help, or is it a SW bug?VojtechBednarJul 19, 2025Occasional Reader24Views0likes1CommentIssues with task priority and ressource
Hello, I have an issue in MS Project while scheduling my project based on my resources and task priorities. I have 2 projects: Lot 1 (priority 700) and Lot 2 (priority 600 hence less prioritized). I have a resource named "D-Q" which is assigned very late to my task "[Lot 1] A" (see yellow line in the picture), resulting in the task finishing on 10/10/25. Project assigns my resource "D-Q" to tasks in Lot 2 (see green lines in the picture) which are less prioritized, but I don't understand why. Furthermore, my resource "D-Q" is not assigned to any task for 3 weeks (from 18/08 to 07/09) ? I get these issues after updating the project from 16/07/25 and leveling all resources. And my task type is "Fixed Units" . Thank you in advance for your help 🙂SPA10Jul 19, 2025Copper Contributor21Views0likes1CommentExporting resources to excel to create histogram
Hi I'm a scheduler who normally uses P6 (although I have used MS Project a little in the past!) I'm working on a tender schedule which has a stipulation to be presented in MS Project... all good so far, schedule built looks good, hits the key dates etc and now I've loaded it out with construction resources (masons/roofers/electricians etc), one of the tender deliverables is to present a resource histogram (showing numbers of operatives/day) of the project resource. I'm looking to export the project resources to excel to produce the histogram and this is where the issue is! The options as I see it are - Export a visual report - I exported a time-phase resource usage report but then hit a brick wall when I tried to manipulate the pivot table data to add a calculated field to convert the hours into a resource headcount as project export to Excel using OLAP cube data which isn't modifiable! Resource Usage View copy & paste - next I tried to straight up copy & paste the raw data from the Resource Usage view into excel to create my own pivot table but unfortunately left clicking to highlight all the date just didn't seem to work - I could highlight and copy the left hand table but the time phase data on the right hand side seems un-copyable, if I highlight it I don't get any copy option on the left click! Export to Excel - next I tried to export the raw data in xlsx format via File/Export/Save Project as File but then am unsure of which fields to set up when mapping to get the resources time phased, I just seem to be able to export the tabular info - Lastly I created a custom report using the in-built graphing tool in Project to create the histogram but this gives a couple of issues - the resource stats on the y-axis are in hours (obviously) with no way of converting to days and more importantly it is in Project and not in Excel as stipulated in the tender requirements! Am I missing something fundamental with this/is it possible? Any help would be gratefulChris_MercerJul 17, 2025Copper Contributor47Views0likes3CommentsResources histogram export to excel

At a customer the tasks tab in the Project-app in PowerApps refuses to load by a specific user. Last week I was there for a training and it seemed the same problem occurred to me as well. The correct url's are already added to the pop-up (known issue). The tasks tab will only load after deleting cookies and other browser history; this has to be done with every browser session. It al worked fine untill recently. What could be the issue here?Chris_Kegler2100Jul 14, 2025Copper Contributor13Views0likes1CommentResources mapping using Project (Planner) and MS Power BI template
I have started using Project for the web and the MS Power BI template from MS. And I really like what I am seeing so far. How can I add a Resource Mapping view to the Microsoft Power BI Project for the Web template? I’d like to display the monthly percentage allocation for each resource, calculated based on remaining effort and the project schedule. Ideally, this view should also support filtering by project and by individual resource.sidimmJul 14, 2025Copper Contributor47Views0likes1CommentNeed Help in Project Operations connection with Project for Web
