Is there a way to customize reports?

[LordLaLa]

Hi all, recently I had asked a question on how to print a report based on %
'incomplete' well got that solved now my next question is, is there a way to
customize the report.

What I want to do is take out the Work Hours and Cost from the report and
add the Resource Name, if that makes sense.

What I was told to do in the first place was goto Reports>Current
Activities>Completed Tasks and from there changed the filter to Incomplete
Tasks.

If there is a way, please let me know. Thanks!

LordLaLa,
Which report do you want to modify (i.e. take out Work and Cost and
replace with Resource Name)? That description sounds a little weird.
What do you want the report to look like?

Personally I have very little use for the built-in reports. Some might
be very useful but when I want some particular Project data presented in
my own format, I use VBA to develop the data and export it to Excel. It
is kinda like Alice's restaurant, "you can get anything you want at
Alice's restaurant". So to answer you last question, yes, there is
always a way.

Hi

yes, you can customise (most) reports to a greater or lesser degree ...
instead of going to Current Activities, choose View / Reports / Custom,
click on Completed Tasks and then click on the EDIT button ... give the
report a new name, and then you can play with the filter options (choose
Incomplete rather than Complete) and the table that the data comes from ...
i didn't have a look at what your options were here but you might be able to
get the fields that you want by changing the table.

If you can't get exactly what you want using this report, post back with
details of what you actually want to see on the report and hopefully someone
will come up with a way to achieve it.

Hope this helps
