So the first thing I need to do is to save the file in Excel 2003 format. ![]() Note that I’m using Project 2010, Excel 2010 and Outlook 2010, but this should work in all formats commonly used. So, that’s my excuse for this foray into Project, Excel and Outlook, what’s yours? ![]() Of course, it’s much easier if I’m driving the schedule, but sometimes I’m just the hired hand – when I’m driving all of my schedules, I just stick them in Project Server! Within each schedule I might be known as Ben, Ben Howard, Consultant or any other such name, and so there would be little consistency for putting them in a Master Plan. ![]() As a consultant, it’s important to be able to tell a client whether I can be onsite and away from home during a certain period, and if I’m working for multiple clients, then I need to consolidate several schedules. I guess the 1st thing to ascertain is why we might want to do this – for me it is basically the requirement to view both my programmed work from multiple projects (held in single MPP plans) and Outlook, (where I plan other things such as personal commitments which in turn often determine which location I need to be in (eg I need to be home for certain social commitments)). This is something that in the past I have done manually, but due to a discussion on a Web2.0 application somewhere I had the idea that it would be possible to semi automate this.
