Exporting Project Tasks to a CSV File

To export the currently viewed project task list to a CSV file, select CSV Records from the File/Export menu. The CSV Export Wizard is displayed, showing the File page.

The File page lets you choose a name for the CSV file that you are about to create. Enter a fully qualified filename into the Export File field. You may use the Browse… button to select an existing file which you would like to over-write. When you have specified a suitable filename, press Next.

The Filter page lets you choose whether to apply the filter currently applied to the viewed project task list. Check the check box if you wish to use the currently selected filter. Press Next.

The Options page lets you decide the format of the output CSV file. You may choose whether or not to write a header, describing the structure of the data. You may also choose whether or not to encapsulate each value in quotes. You can choose the character which will be used to separate each value. This is usually a comma, but you may require to delimit each field with a TAB character. Finally, you may specify whether or not to end each line with a delimiter, since some CSV reading applications require this.
