Copying Data to External Applications

You can copy data from P6 Professional and paste it into any external application, such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.

1. Navigate to any data table or spreadsheet window, select one or more rows, right-click, and choose Copy.
2. Hold the Shift or Ctrl key to select multiple roles. All values, as well as associate rows and column headers, are temporarily copied to the clipboard.
3. Open an external application and choose Paste to view or edit the data as needed.
   
   For example, right-click in Excel, then choose Paste.

   Notes:

   • Any edits made in an external application cannot be returned to your P6 Professional project. Use this feature for reporting only.
   • You may need to expand column widths to display all the project information.
   • The external application may reformat the data. To prevent this, reformat the cells as text before pasting the data, or paste the data into a different application.
