Resources histogram export to excel

Hi I'm a scheduler who normally uses P6 (although I have used MS Project a little in the past!)   I'm working on a tender schedule which has a stipulation to be presented in MS Project... all good ...
  • Chris,

    Ok. I make this kind of resource histogram every day from MSP.

    The easiest way, I find, is to copy the data from the grid in the task usage view or resource usage view. The paste it into excel and graph it there.

    It's definitely copy-able. You have to set up the timesacale. To make it easy to select and copy, narrow all of the timescale down to about 25%, so the columns all have #### (but the data is still there), then select the first cell and use shift, right arrow on the keyboard to select to the end of the row, ctrl-c.

    Sure, you can use the built-in reports and/or export data to excel, but I do as above.
