Project Worksheet (PW) and Resource Management Worksheet (RMW) referenced in this article are based on Silverlight technology and are no longer available as of Changepoint 2020

QUESTION:
In the resource management worksheet, there is a resource that is overbooked. There are two assignments of 8 hours for a certain day. Thus the total effort is 16, the availabilty is -8 and the resource is overbooked.

However, when I select 'Show availability based on selected items', it shows the availability as 0 and the resource is not overbooked. Is this normal?

ANSWER:
When this option is selected, only effort from the selected rows is taken into account. So if just one of the two assignments is selected when this option is activated, then the total effort is 8 (from the selected assignment), the availability is 0 and the resource is not overbooked.

The second assignment of 8 hours will not be taken into account for the calculation of the availability because it is not selected.
