Internal Time Formats

Hi,

I'm trying to use Project data exported to Access and other reporting tools to produce custom reports not available in project. I don't understand the internal storage of time amounts such as Work, Remaining Work, etc. Can anyone help?

Hello Marshall,

All these data are calculated in minutes.

Adding to Gerard's answer, the date/time values in Project are stored as an
integer count of 1/10 minute "ticks" elapsed since 00:00:00 on 01 Jan, 1984.
That defines the date range Project can handle, Jan 01, 1984 - Dec 31, 2049,
because that's when the count reaches 2^32 ticks and overflows to 0. The
date value "NA" is actually an integer number equal to 2^32 - 1.
