SYMPTOMS

In the Resource Graph view of Microsoft Project, the overallocated resources graph may be displayed when a resource is not overallocated.

CAUSE

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.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, show the allocated resources and overallocated resources graphs as the same graph type. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the View menu, click Resource Graph.
  2. On the Format menu, click Bar Styles.
  3. In the Show as list, under both Allocated resources and Overallocated resources, select the same graph type.
