RE: MS project

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your question. There is a field in the project database called Critical. If you insert this column in your table (right click on a column and choose insert column and select Critical) you will see a simple Yes or No beside your tasks. Yes indicates a critical task.

Now when you copy and paste into Excel you can add a conditional filter to highlight your critical or non-critical tasks.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
