Hello,
may be I do something wrong, but if I go there I see the hours/days they accualy have to work not the days their are assigned to...
for example if someone is assigned for two hours I need a report showing is was working two hours as well as a report that he was assigned for one day. Its for internal cost reporting...

Hi
It sounds like you are not using MS Project correctly. You can record Scheduled Activity and Actual Activity against each resource together with dates and times.
What are you actually looking for?

OK may be I express my self wrong...

One thing is and that is what I need to see how much time one accualy spends on the project, that I can find in the team view...

Second thing is for internal reasons all the people contributing to the project are reported as fully assigned. That means if his task start at the 1.11. and ends on 15.11. even he is assined only for 5% and works on the task few hours, I need a report showing that he worked two weeks, in this case 10 Mandays.

Hi
In that case, irrespective of how long they ACTUALLY spend doing the tasks you can assign then as 100% on the task for the given period. The you can use the resource usage report to show how long each person is assigned to the project.
OR
You can create a custom view in Project with the information you need to show. Then export the data to Excel and change the start and Finish columns just to show the dates and not the times if you still want Project to just show the ACTUAL hours spent on the project.
Hope this helps.
Tony

I tried the first solution, but since the people have more tasks in the same period assigned them, to put them as 100% per task has a result of people shown as overloaded in the resources diagram, I thought there is a simpler solution in Project for that...
Im sure Im not the only one having the issue that people assigned to projects do accutualy as well other things than to work only on the project... but this is more a topic of accurate planning and as well about a conflict of theory and praxis

Hi
Project will only report on planned and actual assignment durations. It cannot report anything in between.
As I suggested earlier you can export assignment information to Excel and then in nthe Start and Finish columns in Excel you can change the date format so that it reports on the day only and not the time.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
