Custom Report to export to Excel

I've created a custom report based on a Crosstab report to show Resources in rows and Work in the columns with the dates in weeks along the time period. Is there anyway to replicate this in the tables/views so that I could export the same data as the customised crosstab to excel? So far I have only managed to export using a customised task and resource map - but this does not give me the option to have the time period within the export.

At the moment I am copying and pasting hours per resource per task into Excel where we are keeping the equivalent of the customised crosstab report in order to provide the client with spend profiles with actual costs inserted.

RE: Custom Report to export to Excel

Hi Cheren,

Thank you for your question.

One thing you could try is to export the data into Excel and then create a pivot table using the resources and dates. In a Pivot Table you could group the date field and show whatever time period you want e.g. months, then weeks etc.

The second thing you could do is PDF the report via the print option when previewing the report.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
