S Curves for milestone reporting

[wendyB]

Hi, just wanted to find out whether anyone has any ideas as to how to
generate S Curves for milestone reporting in Project 2003, short of using an
add-on package, or exporting the data to Excel and creating the graphs from
Excel.

Any experience anyone has had and can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

wendyB,
The only way I know to generate "S" curves is by exporting the data to
Excel. For your reference, fellow MVP Rod Gill has a macro for
generating "S" curves. If you'd like to find out more, go to Rod's

Hope this helps.

Excel is made for calculation and graphing. Project does not offer that sort
of function. That is why they made it easy for Project to export to excel.
In my opinion that is the simplest and best ways. You could certainly cobble
together code which would graph within project but that would be a fairly
serious development effort and would not offer the wide functionality that
excel offers.
