Assign activity resource and budgeted man hour 5. Save as a baseline schedule 6. Record the actual status when the actual works are done and schedule it based on report date Plan data can be produced if the steps 1 to 5 are done. The Actual data can also be exported if all the steps are done. Suppose you have already done all these steps as we are learning how to generate Scurve/ Histogram chart from P6 in this post.

Bring out the Columns that you want to export to excel

The first thing you need to find out yourself is which columns are required to be reported and how do you want to analyze the data after exported. Suppose you want to view Overall Budgeted Units and Actual Units that can be used to analyze overall progress. And you might need to look at spreadsheet information such as Cum Budged Units and Actual Units in order to analyze periodic data (i.e weekly budgeted unit, weekly actual units, weekly manpower, etc). That means Cum Budgeted Units and Actual Units from the Spreadsheet Fields are also displayed to calculate weekly or monthly progress S curve/histogram data. To View Overall Budgeted Units and Actual Units Columns 1. Go to View on the menu bar >> Columns >> Customize. 2. And then you will see the Columns window. In the selected options box, Activity ID, Activity Name, Resource ID Name, Start and Finish columns are shown by default.
