Discussion

Microsoft Project has task and resource tables which control the fields that appear in a sheet view. These tables consist of fields of related information. Task tables can be applied to any task view; resource tables can be applied to any resource view. The type of table you select determines the type of information that appears. For example, a Cost table contains only fields with cost information for the project.

The Tables command on the View ribbon consists of commonly used task and resource tables and the More Tables command on the Table submenu provides a list of other available tables. The following table lists the available task tables:
