Summary

Task name



Assignee 

Resource name

  • Makes the assignee's username and workload as the output.

  • If the workload is 0, Microsoft Project specifies the duration of the task as 0 days as a default. Therefore tasks with no milestones and 0% workload are exported with a 1% workload.

  • If square brackets are used for the full name of the assignee, convert to parentheses. In Microsoft Project, you cannot use square brackets for resource names.
