RE: Excell

Hi Robert

Thank you for your question

You can live link data from Project to Excel using copy and paste special. Simply:-

1.Select the data that you want to copy, in this case cost information for your various tasks.
2. Copy the data
3. Open your workbook, and click on Edit-Paste Special
4. Select "Paste Link" and then click OK

This will create a live link to the spreadsheet and when the cost data in project changes, so the worksheet will automatically update. You can then use this data as the basis for your cumulative cash flow

Hope this is useful. if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me

Regards

Stephen
