## Export Data

Sometimes your project plan is the main source of project information for team members or clients who work with large amounts of project information in other programs. Occasionally, you might need to provide team members or clients with some or all of your project information. For example, if your accounting department uses Microsoft Excel to update several tables of project cost information every week or month, you might want to give them the original cost information from your plan. The best way to provide that information is by exporting it.

You can export an entire project to a database or export selected project data to spreadsheet, word processor, and project management programs, as well as to databases. You can also export project information to HTML documents on an intranet or the World Wide Web.

To export data

1. On the File menu, click Save As.
2. In the Save in box, click the folder in which you want to save the exported file.
3. In the Save as type box, click the format in which you want to export the file.
4. In the folder list, click the file you want to export, and then click Save.
   If you’re exporting an entire project in the MPP, MPX, or MPT file format, Microsoft Project saves the file.
   If you’re exporting selected project data or an entire project to a file format other than MPP, MPX, or MPT, the Export Format dialog box appears.
5. To export selected project data, click an existing import/export map or create a new one, and then click Save.
