Find on Excel Sheet Button

 
 

Overview

People working in Microsoft Project will often also be working with many Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that contain project data. When these datasets are large, it can be cumbersome to find specific values. The Find on Excel Sheet tools were built to allow a user to select a sought after value in MS Project and instantly find the value(s) in their active Excel spreadsheet.
