 In this training video we are going to look at reports in project and changing the look of reports between tasks and resources. So under the report tab, I can use reports for project. Now to use the report of project you need percentage completion in which we have the ticks for this example. And you set a state to be the state. So any report that effect both resources are tasks can then be flipped between. So we're going to go under the dashboards in this example and we're going to look at the cost overview for the report. The reports that have been generated here for example there's a chart here showing the cost status and the cost is shown by task and I can extend the size of this chart make it a bit bigger so we can see that right now the chart is showing by task now with the chart selected I can actually change this chart to to review the chart by resource instead of task and I can do that by with the chart selected I can use the chart design tab and there's an option called chart data so sometimes this comes up with a chart but if it doesn't and the chart design here's chart data and it's called a field list so this chart now is cost cost applies to both tasks and resources so at the moment the chart has been displayed by by task if I click on the resources part of the field list very cleverly we've now got costs by resource so engineer manager, HR manager what they're costing us throughout the project if I wanted to show it by task all I've got to do is click back by task so quite clever how you can flip between task and resource for reports that affect both tasks and resource if I close this one down I can look at another way of looking at it through a table so I can click on the table if the great field box doesn't come up you've got a table design table data and at the moment it's by task so all the breakdown of the cost by task click on resources it's now give me a breakdown of all the table by resource and yet the chart I can still keep by task so you can mix and match the table design and the chart design as I've done here you can keep them the same so this is clearly shown a breakdown of the resource cost the chart is shown a breakdown of the task cost and this is just by flicking back and forth between the tasks and the resources in the field list so I'm going to change the table back to task and now it dates itself I can then go into a different table a different report so I'm going to go back to reports and I'm going to cost again this on cash flow so cash flow I'm going to the table the table gives me a breakdown of the cash flow by task I've selected the table table design table data field list go from tasks which is currently showing two resources and now we've got an update of the cash flow breakdown of all our resources and you can just flip back and forth between them it's a very very clever way of working by looking at different information by just clicking back and forth between the different areas for the reports that affect both of the areas now I'll show you one way this this is not going to be effective so I'll close this down go to another report and I'll go to project overview so you can see this is all about percentage completion so percentage completion is all to do with tasks so you're asking for tasks to be percentage completion so the percentage completion of a task so it shows us where the percentage completions are and then anything that's outstanding or that hasn't been completed now if I change this to resources and a percentage completion doesn't apply to resources so you can see here it doesn't know what to do it just wants to get it's waiting for you to design a new chart so not all the reports affect both this is an example of where a report is just tasks if I click back on tasks now the report comes back again so providing a report applies to both tasks and resources in the example I'll do one more so for example go back to dashboards again go back to cost overview the cost applies to both the tasks and the resources we can see now and I'll just do the last example click it on the chart go to the chart design chart data I can now go to resources because it affects both of them so providing the chart the reports in project affect both tasks and resources you can then use either or and here I've now changed the chart to resources if I wanted to update the table click on the table another table selected and I'll go to the field list for the table so the table data and I'll change this to resources as well and we can now see the breakdown for resources and I'll leave them both on resources in this example but this shows how reports can be updated between tasks and resources when a report affects both tasks and resources if you enjoyed this video make sure you like and subscribe to our channel hope to see you for the next tutorial and thanks for watching
