Resource graph overallocated resource displayed unexpectedly in Project
This article was previously published under Q242614
In the Resource Graph view of Microsoft Project, the overallocated resources graph may be displayed when a resource is not overallocated.
This behavior may occur when allocated resources and overallocated resources graphs appear as different graph types. For example, the overallocated graph is a bar and the allocated graph is a line. Or,
the allocated graph type is set to
Don't Show.
The overallocated graph is always drawn unless it is set to
Don't Show in the
Bar Styles dialog box. If the allocated graph is the same type as overallocated, the allocated graph is drawn over the overallocated graph so that you do not see the overallocated graph until a resource is overallocated.
To work around this behavior, show the allocated resources and overallocated resources graphs as the same graph type. To do this, follow these steps:
For Project 2007 and earlier (Without the Ribbon UI):
- On the View menu, click Resource Graph.
- On the Format menu, click Bar Styles.
- In the Show as list, under both Allocated resources and Overallocated resources, select the same graph type.
For Project 2010 (with the Ribbon UI):
- On the View tab, click Resource Views, and select the Resource Graph view.
- Switch to the Format tab and click Bar Styles
- In the Show as list under the Resource section, and under both Allocated resources and Over-allocated resources, select the same graph type.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
