MS Project 2016 Reports

Question

I am on Windows 7 running MS Project 2016 just installed on my machine. Previous version I had was MS Project 2010 where I was able to create good reports like "Predecessor-Successor Report" with all data I needed, e.g. Predecessor ID, Task Name, Start, Finish, Predecessor WITH ID, NAME, Type, Lag, etc. as well as Successor ID, Task Name, Start, Finish, Predecessor WITH ID, NAME, Type, Lag, etc.

The 2016 lets me create the report but I can only include the Predecessor and Successor IDs; I cannot even have names of the Predecessor and Successors.

Also the report I get looks very "table-like" which is completely different from 2010 version of the report I built before. Need help ASAP, please!

Answer 1

You could send it to someone who has MSP2010 and use those reports.

Those reports in earlier versions were mostly based on a combination of a table, a filter and a group. They were like output versions of the views such as the task usage or resource usage views. These two have the usage table as default, and you can combine that with some filter or group, and make your own custom views very similar to those built-in reports.

Any help at all?

Thank you!

I actually already started looking for the earlier version, so I am glad we are on the same page!
