Can you export a interactive schedule to Excel. I cant seem to find any method or instruction for this.

click in the schedule to make it active, then File-Save as. It will save as a comma delimited file that Excel can import into a new document.

Exporting to EXCEL this way works great, but I was a little unsure what a "comma delimited file" was. So for the benefit of the next person pulling their hair out trying to figure this out with zero time to wait...

To export a schedule to EXCEL:
(in v9, I assume v10 is similiar though I'm just getting into v10)

go to calculate/interactive sechedule/preview

get your schedule set up correctly

choice output to: text file

then click the create list button

Now open the .txt file in EXCEL and follow the prompts (you'll want to choose delimited, then tab as the delimiter).

BAM!! so so easy, if you know that you can do it!
