very very useful.. but you have to search and replace the “” and ‘ characters in a text editor before copying it into your project.

I also went to the assignment level by adding another for loop within the Resources loop and looping through all the resource(R).assignments(a).

good good good thanks!

Hi there,

Great article. I’ve stumbled across your site while researching Monte Carlo simulations and ended up reading this because I’ve run into the same resource export issue myself a while ago.

I have developed a similar module which provides a little more flexibility for the end user but is focused on the work rather than the cost.

I was wondering whether you would mind if I included some of your ideas in my module?

With regards to the flexibility I mentioned the module I’m maintaining allows you to do the following at execution:
- pick your date range for the export
- choose from several data types such as Availability to work, Work Assigned, Remaining Availability, Percent Allocation or Overallocation.
- choose the size of the time units to export (months, weeks, days etc.)
- pick whether you want to export hours or FTE equivalents data
- include any of up to 70 commonly used fields from the resource table in the export.

It’s freely downloadable from http://www.badsoda.com/tools/time-scaled-resource-data-exporter/

Michale, try commenting the line (put ‘ in front of the line) for a start.

Maybe you could also set a breakpoint on that line. Click on it and press F9. Then run the script and when it stops on the breakpoint, point the mouse to PjTask.Outline and check whether the number, which will be displayed makes sense or not.

Regarding the view, there is no need to be on a particular view.

Also – do I need to be on a particular view to execute the macro, or can I be on the Gantt, Usage or Resource Sheet Views?

Hi – this looks like a very useful Module – but I can’t seem to debug the following error. “Run-time error 1004, Unable to set teh outline level property of the Range Class”. This occurs on the line:

XlSheet.Rows(T + 1).OutlineLevel = PjTask.OutlineLevel

Let me know, where exactly does macro crash. It will highlight the line with yellow.

What does the error message say?

How do I call this? Using it as a macro simply throws an error.
