Tip

If you manually plan future period resource/role allocation in the Resource Usage Spreadsheet, you should set the Units Format and Durations Format according to the time periods in which you plan your work. For example, if you plan future work in daily time periods, you should set the Units Format to Hour and the Durations Format to Day. Similarly, if you plan future work in weekly time periods, you should set the Units Format to Hour or Day, and the Durations Format to Week.
