Why might my resource be over allocated
I'm just going through the schedule to level my resources, and one is showing as overallocated on one week, when he isn't. and under allocated where he isn't.
I've checked to see if he had a personal calendar applied, but no
And nothing in the project calendar either
Any suggestions as to what is going on?
- David,
Max unit value isn't in hours per week, it is expressed as a percent or a decimal (i.e. 100%) for each resource on the Resource Sheet. Perhaps mean that resource max unit value is 31.6/40= 0.79 (i.e. 79%)?
Change the Bottom Tier on the timescale to Days. Then look at the hours per day for that particular resource. You'll likely find a day when the resource is over the maximum.

The Work values for the resource for that week add up to 12.71. The resource IS overallocated, probably due to being assigned to parallel tasks during that week. Hope this helps.- Hi Dale
But 12.71h for the week isn't overallocated? And 59.54h definitely is (but isn't showing as so)
And that's all the activities for the individual in the project- dc_27,
What is that resource's max unit value? What is the basis for overallocation set to in your leveling options (e.g. minute by minute, hour by hour, etc.)? Is there a task calendar set for any of the task assignments for that resource?
