Exporting Tasks and Resources from MS Project 2007 to MS Excel

[shamailauk]

Hi there,

I need to export the tasks and associated resource information to Exce
but I am having trouble modifying the following Macro (I'm not
coder!). Essentially what I would like is to include the Resource Grou
and % Complete fields in the export.

Here is the code I was able to find, I was able to modify some of it t
include start and end dates. I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks,
S

This is a relatively complex VBA macro and the odds of getting great
help increases if you re-post on the newsgroup for developers:
microsoft.public.project.developer.

That being said, I'm wondering if you would find it easier to use the
built-in capability of Project to do this. See Menu: File/SaveAs ...
and pick Microsoft Excel XLS file. You will be presented with a wizard
which will work you through the process of picking the tasks, resource,
and assignment data that you wish to export. Here is a "help" button on
that wizard dialogue box which provides some guidance. You'll end up
creating a MAP file which you can then re-use for future exports.

Hi Rob,

I have tried creating a new map but unfortunately you lose all the tex
formatting that way. I'll try posting to the developers forum yo
suggested.

Thanks,

ok. format in Excel once data gets there?
(avoids all the VBA complexity)
