Hi Christine,

 

I would normally do this by using tabular reports. A report is created in the same format as the report you want. One click is then all that is need to update the report each time. If you want more information or help on this please let me know.

Hi Christine

I do not know of any link available between cells in the Powerproject spreadsheet and Excell.

You can however copy / paste from any Power Project column into Excell columns.

The problem is that the time values come with it so you have convert it to date numbers.

If you want your date in say Column C then paste the dates into column E

In Column D type =left(d#,10) and that will lift out the pure date data

In column C type =value(d#) and then format it to the date type you want.

Whenever you copy paste date columns back into excell Col E the dates will format correctly.

Make absolutely sure that your powerproject data lines up exactly with you spreadseet columns or your dates will be all over the place.

Best regards
