Hi Natalie,
I believe the closest you will get is to add the Peak Units field to the
Usage table (left side of the Resource Usage view). The Peak Units is a
resource's highest assignment value and if the assignment value (Peak)
exceeds the resources Maximum Units, the resource is overallocated in
Project's definition. You could add the Max. Units as a reference point
as well.
You can add the Overallocation field to the timescaled (right side) of
the Resource Usage view to see how many hours the resource is "over
assigned" on any day or week.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
