Activity Code Description values rather than Code Value in Exporting Data

In the Open Standard

I would like to have Activity Code Description values rather than Code Value when I export data to Excel. 

For Example for an Activity Code: 

Code Value is Ph1       :         Code Description is Phase 1

I would like to get the description Phase 1, rather than Ph 1. I have to do V-lookups from an external Activity Code table to get the descriptions I need. Is there a was to avoid this step by including it in the export.

 

Thanks

    go to edit user preferences

    go to edit user preferences click on the Application lab

    then under the Codes section under Specify how to display code values

    select Description instead of Code Value

    now get it how you want it in the tabular area then copy and paste to excel

    you can also create a UDF which is user defined field and make it a text value and import these back into P6

    then you will have them
