1. in View, Tables, More tables, prepare a resource table with all the necessary fields
2. in Files, Save as, select MS Excel worksheet, then click next until you are prompted to select data; check the Resources box, then select the table you have created
to baseline your project:
1. Tools, Tracking, Save baseline (or something close);
select the specific baseline you want (usualy "Baseline")
Its Project Stand alone. I was looking at the way you could export the resources to excel (which I did manually) and the way project lets you baseline the project and give you the planned percentage expected on that day and at that current point in the project.
I am used to taking the information from project and manually putting it into excel to produce S curves.
I would like to know more about how project lets to track progress etc.
I can recommend the books I write, there are 4 all together. You may download book data sheets and sample chapters from my website. They may be purchased from my website in four currencies. My books may be ordered from any bookshop and are also available from:
