MS Project Resource Pool Usage
Hi Tamsons .
Try inserting the Cost column into the Resource usage view table, and group by the Project field and Then by Name, selecting in the Group form: "Group assignments, not resources" selected, "Project" in Field Name, "Assignment" in Field Type, "Name" in Field Name, and "Resource" in Field Type.
I hope you find it useful.

Hi Tamsons.
Below the reply box, a text that says "Open full text editor" is displayed, from where you can insert images. If it doesn't appear, you may need to register.
I attach an image of the resources (R1, R2, R3) grouped by projects (Project A, Project B, Project C), with their corresponding and totaled allocations and costs.
Regards.
- Thanks for getting back I managed to get the summary and the totals for each each resource. I had to do it slightly differently. Thanks for all your time. Another question I have is. Does MS Project create an embedded master when you allocate resources from a resource pool? I have a project one with all the projects embedded in it and I didn't create it.
When the resource pool file is opened you will see this window. If option 3 is selected a master file will be created, as noted. If option 1 or 2 is selected, no master will be created.
If you feel Ignacio_Martin answered your basic query about how to get the report you wanted please mark his response as the answer.
