Extracting data from project into Excel

During the course we went through how to extract data from Project and importing it directly into excel. However, i cannot remember how to configure the report to show me how to show week by week planned progress information. How can i achieve this?

Thanks

RE: Extracting data from project into Excel

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your question.

We looked at using filtering. Select the filtered for option under the Project menu and choose Date Range. Enter the earliest and latest dates.

Alternatively you can use the Autofilter option which appears at the bottom of the Filtered for menu and produce a custom filter.

If you have a baseline saved you can change your view to tracking gantt. Then either use Save as Excel or copy and paste what you see by clicking on the button which is at the intersection between the row and column headings. Then copy and paste special as a project object.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
