Hi @Anmol123 

In ServiceNow's Project Workspace, there is no out-of-the-box feature that directly exports the Gantt chart view to PowerPoint (PPT) or Excel formats. The Gantt chart is primarily a visual tool within the platform, and exporting it as a fully interactive or formatted chart to PPT or Excel is not natively supported.

However, you have a few possible workarounds:

1. Export Data and Recreate Gantt in Excel:

   • Export the underlying project task data (start dates, end dates, dependencies, progress) from ServiceNow to Excel using list exports.

   • Use Excel’s built-in Gantt chart templates or create a custom Gantt chart based on the exported data.

2. Screenshot or Image Export:

   • Take a screenshot of the Gantt chart in the Project Workspace and insert the image into a PowerPoint slide or Excel sheet.

   • This method is simple but static and does not allow for data manipulation.

3. Custom Development:

   • With ServiceNow’s scripting capabilities, you could develop a custom export feature that formats project data into a downloadable Excel or PowerPoint file, possibly using third-party libraries or APIs.

   • This requires development effort and is not available out-of-the-box.

4. Third-Party Integrations:

   • Some organizations integrate ServiceNow with external project management or reporting tools that offer better export capabilities.

   • These tools can pull project data from ServiceNow and generate Gantt charts that can be exported to PPT or Excel.
