Best for: Project managers, program managers, and PMO teams that need to share or analyze schedule information across multiple projects in Excel.
- Open the Cross-Project Gantt Chart.
- Open the report’s export options.
- Select Export to Excel.
- Download and open the generated Excel file.
Project Insight sends the information from the Cross-Project Gantt Chart to an Excel file, including the underlying data and a visualization of the cross-project schedule.
What is the Cross-Project Gantt Chart?
The Cross-Project Gantt Chart is a report that displays schedule information from multiple projects in one Gantt-style view.
Exporting this report helps teams move the combined schedule into Excel for external review, sharing, or further analysis.
What is included in the Excel export?
The exported Excel file contains the data shown in the Cross-Project Gantt Chart along with a visualization of the schedule.
The Excel visualization may appear differently from the interactive chart in Project Insight because it is being displayed within an Excel worksheet.
What should I do if the chart does not fit in the Excel window?
Adjust the Excel window size or the worksheet view so more of the exported chart is visible.
The tutorial demonstrates making the window smaller to bring the exported schedule visualization into view.
Why would I export the Cross-Project Gantt Chart?
Exporting the Cross-Project Gantt Chart helps teams share a combined project schedule with stakeholders, review cross-project timing outside Project Insight, and work with the report data in Excel.
Project Insight does this by converting the cross-project report into a downloadable file that includes both schedule data and a visual timeline.
Can I export the Cross-Project Gantt Chart to PDF?
The video states that a PDF export was planned but was not yet available at the time the tutorial was recorded.

What should I check before exporting the Cross-Project Gantt Chart?
- Confirm that the report displays the projects and schedule data you need.
- Use the report’s export menu and select Export to Excel.
- Download the generated file before closing the report.
- Adjust the Excel window or worksheet view if the chart does not fit on screen.
What are common mistakes when exporting the Cross-Project Gantt Chart?
- Looking for a separate export process instead of using the report’s export options
- Assuming the Excel visualization will look exactly like the interactive Gantt chart
- Thinking information is missing when the chart is simply outside the visible Excel window
- Assuming PDF export is available without confirming the current product functionality
