Outlook and Excel

Is it possible to download information from the diary in Outlook to Excel to analyse how time is spent on each project?

RE: Outlook and Excel

Hi Harriet

Thank you for your question.

One way might be to first categorise meetings using the built in category tool.

Then switch to your calendar and from the View menu and choose Current View > Events

The events view has the Categories field listed as one of the columns.

Select all the events (single click on one row then use CTRL key + A to select all followed by CTRL + C to copy)

Switch to Excel and click into a blank sheet then pate (CTRL + V)

You can now use auto-filter to filter on the Data ribbon to select events with a particular category and count them etc.

I hope this helps in your analysis. Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Microsoft Office tip:

Prevent macros from running when you start Applications

Macros are automated programs that can help you speed up your work. They can be embedded in caommands like AutoExec which will make them run as soon as an application like MS Word or MS Access are launched.
Sometimes it is useful to be able to switch off this function, and then can be done by the following method.
Hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the icon to start the program. This will suppress any automated macros.
