Why does the end date calculation in Project Worksheet overbooks the resource?

QUESTION:
In Project Worksheet, the calculation of end date (via the button in the tool bar) results in overloading the assigned resource in the plan . This happens when the start date, duration and effort are provided.


ANSWER:
The reason is the 'duration' field. When the duration is populated the end date will be calculated based on the duration, not based on the planned effort. If both duration and end date are empty, then the end date is calculated without overbooking and the duration field is populated.
