Actual Hours Worked by Month for All Projects

can you share which report and filters you are using? I would have thought an hours report filtering on something would do the trick (the something either being when the hours were entered [entry date?] or the planned / actual completion date of the task or issue [those would probably get filtered in separately]), so I'm curious as to what you've tried. -skye

Skye - Actually, looking around the site, and with a bit of trial and error, I was able to figure it out. I didn't realize you could sort Actual Hours by Entry Date. Thanks anyway... Best, Mike Kaplan

Michael, Although it sounds like you may have it figured out, I wanted to insert a word of caution. I had been struggling with the same thing for quite awhile. We tend to scope work yearly, even though some projects will go longer. So we need to know how much time has been put on a project, but only for the current year. I found that when I use a Project report and get Actual Hours, it pulls in all hours entered on the project EVER. It does not observe any filter I try to place on it to only show me hours for This Year, etc. Actual Hours give you 100% of the time entered on projects no matter what. I did find that when I used an Hours report, I was able to get the results I wanted. Although the Hours report breaks it down into each hours entry, which is more detailed than I need, it was able to filter by the time constraint I wanted and Sum the hours. Hope that helps.

Chris - Thank you for pointing that out -- of course, you are correct, and I probably would have embarrassed myself if one of my bosses had spotted it first! The Hours Report did exactly what I need it to... Thanks again. -Mike
