MS Project Resource Allocations

Joseph Lawrence Operations Manager| U.S. Air Force Charleston, Sc, United States

Recently, I inherited some templates in MS Project 2016 with hundreds of task lines. The "resources" are currently assigned in a text field and I want to add an actual 'Resource' column. Is there a way to automate this process without me going line-by-line and manually assigning resources to each task?

Does a copy/paste (either fully or section by section) not do the job?

Well....that certainly is a MUCH simpler solution! Thank you very much! I just need to make sure the resources I add are the same as in the text field. Other than that....it works perfectly!

Hi,
You can add a work resource and associated information by using your MAPI e-mail address book, from the Active Directory, or from Microsoft Project Server. Click the Resource tab, and in the Insert group, click Add Resources. Click Build Team from Enterprise (Project Professional only), Active Directory, , or Address Book

Sorry it wasn't more scientific. I couldn't find any way to do formulas. Glad it works for now
