Adjusting the work calendar could help too, but not sure it’s the best fix.

I think I read that subtotals can be misleading if they just sum percentages. So, option B sounds like it could fix the issue, but I’m not 100% sure.

I practiced a similar question where we had to adjust settings for utilization. I feel like option C could be relevant, but I’m not confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think adjusting the work calendar could help. It seems like it might change how the utilization is calculated.

I remember something about how subtotals can sometimes just add up percentages instead of averaging them. Maybe option B is the right choice?

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is to adjust the report settings to calculate the utilization correctly. Option C, setting the Utilization setting to 'Weighted', should do the trick.

Okay, I've got this. The issue is that the subtotal is summing the utilization instead of calculating the average. Option B to create a summary level formula is definitely the right fix here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this one. The utilization is showing as 80% for each month, but the subtotal is 160%. I'll need to think through this carefully to figure out the best approach.

This seems like a straightforward issue with the report calculation. I think option B, creating a summary level formula, is the way to go here.

Ooh, the 'Weighted' utilization setting could be the way to go. That might help consolidate the numbers correctly.

This question is really tricky! I think the key is to understand how the utilization calculation is being done. The report seems to be double-counting the resource's time.
