Note: Microsoft Project for the web will soon become Microsoft Planner. You can continue using most of the Project for the web capabilities in the new Planner once it's rolled out to your organization. Learn more about the new Planner in Frequently asked questions about Planner and Planner help & learning.

When managing a project in Project for the web, you can export your project to Excel. Having your project data in an Excel file allows you to:

  • Send a file containing project details to external stakeholders

  • Create reports and visuals

  • Archive copies of your project data for audit and compliance

  • Print copies of your project

Here's how to export your project:

  1. Go to project.microsoft.com and open the project you want to export to Excel.

  2. In the top right corner, select the three dots (...), then select Export to Excel.

  3. When you see the message "All done! We've exported [your project name]." at the bottom of the screen, you can look for your new Excel file where you store your downloads.

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.
