    Convert to Excel Without Reformatting

    Hi ireland & Others, Not sure why, but for some reason, I can't upload the MS Project file. To re-iterate my intents: I would like to take my full MS Project layout or plan & past its raw data into Excel. Once I can get the data "cleanly" extracted, I use Excel functions to extract the...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi ireland, Perhaps to some, having this extra flexibility between the various Gantt views is advantageous. At least for the Header & Footer areas, it's annoying, but manageable if one wants the same header & footer. For the primary Gantt Chart & Tracking Gantt views, MS Project seems to...

    asking advice as a new grad

    Hi GogiBob, If you are really interested with the space industry, there's a company called Space Exploration or SpaceX, based near Los Angeles, CA. They were recently in the news too! I don't work for them, but they did contact me for a prospective opportunity once. As for opportunities...

    Company Received Non-Compliance

    Hi rb1957 & hacksaw, Thanks for responding. The company is primarily tying to comply to ISO 4.2 - Documentation Requirements & ISO's 7.3 series - Design & Development. From what I understand, my manger gave the ISO auditor the run-around because there was "no" sufficient documentation to...

    Zoom In or Out WBS Area?

    Hi ierland, I'm not comparing prices of software but the functionalities of it. I would think that some functions would or could be basic, such as having a spell checker & zooming functions, which most MS Office applications has. We know that MS Project has been around for quite a...

    Zoom In or Out WBS Area?

    Hi Group, From what I gather here is that MS Project does not have a "simple" option to zoom in or out on the WBS or Gantt Chart areas. The more I use MS Project, the more I hate it! Would someone happen to have a good Excel template that can help a PM manage the tasks & show planned vs...

    Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt View

    Hi Group, Why does Gantt Chart View vs. Tracking Gantt views have radically different views? Also, why does one need individual headers & footers between to the 2 different style views? I'm desperately trying to show the planned vs. actual project plan, but every time I adjust a date, it gives...
