Hold the horses. As I recall, in 2003, there was an option to Analyze Timescaled
Data in Excel. It was on the Analysis toolbar. That may get you there.

Andrew,

I have already exhausted all those avenues. I need project viewer or
something like that which I can port to excel the exact task usage view w/tp
data.

Doesn't give the entire view. Analyze TS data limits the fields that you are
allowed to export. It will give you the monthly totals, but in the task list
the work is not broken down by resource. I need the task name and each
resource broken down by their TP hours.

Hi,

If the Analyze timescaled data in Excel option doesn't do it for you then
VBA is your only choice. The sample module from my book on MSDN shows how to
export time phased data to Excel:

Rod,

Thanks for the pointer. However, as I stated in my opening post, I am not a
coder. I can copy and paste and get things to sometimes work, but a
modification is not going to work for me. Given that, I am only seeking an
additional application that will take the task usage view, as is with
timescaled data and port it over to excel. I need the task list in
hierarchical order with each resource listed under their respected task(s)
with the corresponding hours per month. We port this view out to use as our
proposal. If I cannot find a resolution, I am afraid that mgmt will revert
to trying to use Excel as the scheduling tool. We both know that will be a
nightmare. I know that I can't be the only one who uses this view for this
and probably other purposes. Just trying to find out what methods/tools
other are using to accomplish this. Maybe the Excel pros can help.

Cheers!

Jon
