  • 2. Link Project to Excel and Vice Versa
    I would like to set up a system that all of my excel files are based off of a project files cells, for an automatic update purpose, to save time. Is there a way, either directly or indirectly, to link project cells to excel cells. MS Excel has a similar feature where you can ( = ) one cell to the next for update purpose. Microsoft should make some kind of compatibility between the two to make it more user friendly for the everyday user.
  • 3. How to create a weekly job sheet in project 2000
    Hi there, Using Project 2000 for the 1st time. Have created the project and baselined it. I now want to be able to hand out "job sheets" to the individual resources so that they know what they are expected to be doing on a weekly basis. How can I do this? TIA
  • 4. Multiple Project View
    I'm a new poster so please excuse me if this has already been answered. I wasn't able to find a FAQ area. I am using a Master Project in order to compile several projects for resource allocation purposes. The problem that I have now is generating a useful view of the overall project. Unlike Excel, I don't have the ability to change a "View" value to see more of the project. Does anyone have a good solution to this? I would even be up to, with reservations, exporting data to Excel or some other program if needed. Thank you for the assistance. Rick Carlisle

Needlewich,
If you are talking about a spreadsheet you must be using Excel. This 
newsgroup is dedicated to questions/issues for Microsoft Project, a 
planning and scheduling application. You will have better luck by 
posting to a newsgroup that deals with Excel.

Hi,

Let's try again.
This NG is dedicated to Microsoft Project, not to Word, Excel, Acccess,
Power Point, Visio...
Sorry.

1.Delete unused resource in MS Project?

Someone has added a list of resources that I now want to delete from the 
resource list to prevent assigning to any tasks.  

2.Deleting Unused Resources

As an admin, is there a way to view whether a resource has ever been 
used across all projects?  I'd like to delete resources never involved 
in any projects, vs. deactivating them (to keep things cleaner).  I 
don't want to have to go into each project ( > 150), and would like to 
see a summary of all resources (or a single resource) to view their 
past and current assignments (including completed assignments).  In 
VIEW RESOURCE ASSIGNMENTS, it appears you can only view resources who 
have current, in-process assignments.

Thanks!

3.Corrupt unused rows causing Project Pro 2007 Critical Error

Empty rows between tasks seem to be "corrupt" when the plan is opened with 
Project Pro 2007 (retrieved from Project Server 2007).

After adding a task to an existing empty open row, Project Pro 2007 (client) 
will abort the save action claiming that the project plan is of an 
unsupported format. On the second save attempt (no other changes made), 
Project Pro 2007 encounters a critical error, prompts me to send Microsoft an 
error report, then closes Project Pro 2007. It does not provide me with a web 
page identifying the issue or a resolution. I can reproduce this scenario 
consistently.

It seems that when I enter a task in ONLY that specific row (row 13 
identified below) Project Pro crashes. I can add and edit tasks in other 
rows, just not in that one.

The plan was originally created with Project Pro 2007 and stored in Project 
Server 2007.

The workaround as I have discovered, is to delete this "corrupt" row. After 
the delete, I am able to add new tasks rows - even underneath the peer task 
(row 12) of the original "corrupt" row and save without issue. I'm stumped.

While I know of a workaround, I would much prefer to know how to keep this 
from occurring again.
