- Choosing fields in a visual report is as easy…as turning field check boxes on and off.…I'm going to use an Excel visual report as an example…but you can use similar techniques on a Visio visual report.…To get to visual reports head to the Report tab…and then click Visual Reports.…Remember in Project 2010…the visual reports are on the Project tab.…When I click Visual Reports…the Visual Reports dialog box opens.…
Now let's say I want to focus on Excel report.…There are two check boxes at the top of the dialog box.…If you only want to see the Excel reports…turn off the Microsoft Visio check box…and now the list only has Excel reports in it.…The report that I'm going to use is Baseline Work Report.…When I select that in the list the sample…preview shows me what it looks like…and that's basically what I want.…
I'm going to keep the level of usage data set to Weeks.…All I have to do now to generate the report…is click View down at the bottom right.…That generates the data for the report…and then opens it up in Excel.…
