Linking Project to Excel and Vice versa: is possible??

[Vit]

Hi All,

Is it possible to Link Project to Excel and Vice versa (cell)???

I'd like to "synchronise” data between MS Excel and MS Project??

If I Copy and Past as a link it will work only in one way… right???

Thank you so much

Cheers

Vit

Yes one way only, but it is not recommended. The DDE links are fragile and
if you over-write, move or rename either file you may corrupt one or both
files.

Options are exporting then importing data or using VBA.

If using PS07, you could also do this a number of other ways including
VSTO to the PSI, DocLib events to the PSI, etc.
