Linking to excel
I understand you that you are able to link excel and MS project, and our trainer explained that this can be done, and explained how to take information from excel and have that fed into MS project 2010. What I wanted was to create a project, and then when clicking on the task for example, it opens an excel (2007) spreadsheet table to give more information about that task which can be updated so gives more information about what stage that particular task is in. Is this possible?
RE: Linking to excel
Hi Anjani
Thank you for your question. You can make a link from a task to a document or web page. Just click on the task in question then hold down the Control key and tap the K key. A dialogue box will appear allowing you to choose your link destination.
Once added MS Project will display a globe symbol in the Indicator Column. Double clicking this icon will open the linked document or web page.
You can also create and follow hyperlinks by right clicking on a task.
I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
