## Exporting Project Metrics Info

The Project Metrics Report provides metric information about the entire project. Project metrics can be saved to a comma-delimited text file which can be used in Excel and other spreadsheet programs.

Choose Project->Metrics Export to open the Export Metrics dialog.

- Save As: Specify the file path and name for the metrics text file.
- Write Column Titles: If this box is checked (the default), the first record in the CSV file contains the column titles to identify the metrics generated.
- Long Filenames: If this box is checked, the full path to the file is used in File column of the CSV file. In addition, the HTML output shows the full path to the file for the FuncFilename metric for functions. The default is unchecked.
- Selected Metrics to Generate: The metrics listed in this column are included in the metrics report. You can omit individual metrics by selecting them and clicking Remove. You can also change the order of the metrics report by selecting metrics and clicking Move Up or Move Down.

After setting options, click Generate to export the file. As with report generation, metric generation status is written to the Command Results window. See Setting Logging Options for ways to limit the log to displaying warning and/or error messages.
