Microsoft Project for the Web–where is database, and how to export data from it?

Hi,

I wrote a lot about Microsoft Project for the Web and Microsoft Project Accelerator App, and I will continue to do it, but I will start wit Vlogs. I will create videos about it.

For this post I will go beyond Project for the Web, and I will show you where is all information actually stored.

Let me First create a simple Project:

Now I will switch to Project Accelerator:

OK, everything looks fine. Now I will skip to PowerApps:

When I choose Tables I will get:

As you can see there are a lot of tables stored in Microsoft Dataverse (previously called – CDS). Let me choose, for example, Project Task Table:

I am not going to explain each and every Column, Tab, etc. for this or any other Table, because it is far beyond this post: I just want to show you where the data is stored. And one last thing. You I can export data from each table, like this:

and I will get:

In the screen above, there are only few fields shown, not all.

As you can see, data is stored in different tables, and if you want to explore them, you should pick a right table.
