The easiest way to accomplish this is to modify the existing Cash Flow Report by completing the following steps:. Note: If you want to remove the subtotals for years, click the Subtotals pick list button in the Layout section of the Design ribbon, and select the Do Not Show Subtotals item.
Select all of the numbers in the PivotTable and apply currency formatting as desired, such as US dollars, for example. To avoid needing to repeat the preceding set of steps for every project in which you want to use the same custom Cash Flow report, you can save the finished Excel workbook as a new Visual Report template.
To do this, complete the following additional set of steps:. Figure 7: Save the Cash Flow report as an Excel template. The next time you open a project in Microsoft Project and want to use your new custom Cash Flow report as a replacement for the old Cash Flow report found in previous versions the software, you can find your new Visual Report template in the Visual Reports — Create Report dialog, such as shown in Figure 9.
Before you create the new Cash Flow report, remember to click the Select Level of Usage Data pick list at the bottom of the dialog and choose a selection such as Months.

I would appreciate if you could steer me in the right direction as my understanding is that this is the scope of a QS? Any advice would be really appreciated, as being able to use the template would save running through all the set up steps on each of my projects weekly.
Any advice on how I can get my visual Cash Flow Report to report on a financial year basis rather than calendar year basis? If so, could we suggest that the facility to generate these Cash Flow reports on a fiscal year basis would be very helpful? It is not true that you cannot do a cashflow for the fiscal year. In the MS Project options, set the first month of the fiscal year to the appropriate month.
It will all work. Please update your comments. I see a problem though. After each task group header, e. Is it possible to make the cash flow only for selected items in project, this report is exporting full time schedule in excel, i want only some items. Is there a solution? I am trying to produce a cost and revenue report based on a build programme for a construction project using Project Basically, at the moment I can assign fixed costs to particular tasks and produce a cash flow report showing the costs in monthly increments prorated.
But, what I need to do is, as well as assign a cost to a task i. The reason for it is accurate forecasting against the programme.
Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. How do I export this exact table of data into Excel ? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. When you open the Excel file containing your project, you'll see a tab called "Project tasks" that contains a summary of project-wide information at the top, including its name, project manager, and the start and finish dates, duration, and percent complete for the whole project.
You'll also see what date it was exported. Under that, you'll see a table of all the information for your project. While Project desktop has many built-in reports that let you present all sortsof project data to your stakeholders, you can also export your project data to Excel for in-depth data analysis and visual reporting.
In Excel, you can create PivotTable reports, charts, and use many other features that help you create a more visual report. In the File name box, type the name you want, and choose Save. On the Map step, choose New map to create your own data settings for mapping your data from Project fields to appropriate Excel fields. To use a predefined or previously defined map, choose Use existing map , and then pick the map you want to use.
On the Map Options step, pick the types of data you are exporting and the options you want. On the Task Mapping , Resource Mapping , or Assignment Mapping steps, edit any mapping assumptions Project made, and enter any new mapping fields:.
Use the buttons below the mapping table to insert or remove rows, or apply a Project table for mapping. The new map will be added to the list of predefined maps. No problem! In Excel, you can use Flash Fill to quickly clean up columns of data , for example to change numbers to dates, or text to numbers.
There is the Cost column and then Cost1, Cost2, Cost3, etc. When I create a simple project add the Cost column to the view and add costs and durations - I see the data in the Task Usage view and it exports using the Excel Visual Report - Cost Report. Do you see data in the pivot table exported to Excel if you put data in the Fixed Cost field? Do you have Service Pack 1 installed to Project ? When I try to run a visual report all I get is a graph, which is not much use.
In the Excel spreadsheet, click the Task Usage tab at the bottom. The export creates a chart and on a separate sheet tab the pivot table. I guess that I am too stupid for this. Thanks for pointing out the Task Usage Tab, which I hadn't noticed. Unfortunately the Table contains only Cost and Cumulative Cost; neither number bears any relation to reality. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've cracked it. Thanks Julie, you're fantastic. You're welcome and thanks for the enthusiastic feedback. What finally made everything work?
I am not an expert in Pivot Tables. I used to use them years ago, but now it's all Greek to me. Anyway, I started clicking on various drop down boxes and select5ing things and finally I got what I wanted.
