preparing a schedule in primavera p6 has traditionally been a time-consuming task, requiring manual data entry without the flexibility of formulas or linked spreadsheets. understanding the concept of importing data from spreadsheets to primavera p6 is crucial for several reasons. however, the time estimates for building a baseline schedule with resource and cost loading are generally as follows:<\/p>\n
in the following example, we will import budgeted units (man-hours) for a specific set of activities<\/a> that have been calculated in a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n step 1:<\/strong> make a dummy activity in the project & assign all the 世界杯时间比赛时间
to the dummy activity. here you can see the dummy activity as “new activity” (note that the 世界杯时间比赛时间
should be defined prior to this step)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n step 2:<\/strong> export to spreadsheet (xlsm)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n note: template should be modified in the following format \u2013 <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n step 3:<\/strong> open the exported spreadsheet, copy activity id<\/a>, resource id & budgeted units as required. (ensure that each resource id is correctly assigned to its corresponding activity id and verify that the budgeted units are accurately calculated)<\/p>\n step 4:<\/strong> change the format of duration cells to text.<\/p>\n step 5:<\/strong> maintain activity status as \u201cnot started\u201d. (as the project is in a baseline stage all the activities should be not started)<\/p>\n step 6:<\/strong> utilize “d” in the “delete this row” column to remove the dummy activity 世界杯时间比赛时间
.<\/p>\n initially, we added a dummy activity and 世界杯时间比赛时间
for the purpose of exporting data. however, when importing the data back, it’s crucial to remove these dummy activity 世界杯时间比赛时间
. to do this, type “d” in the “delete this row” column to delete the 世界杯时间比赛时间
during the import process.<\/p>\n note: your resource assignment list should resemble the following format:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n important note:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n step 7:<\/strong> save the spreadsheet and import it into your primavera p6 project.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n accurate budgeted unit calculation:<\/strong> ensure that the budgeted units for each activity are calculated correctly prior to the importing data to p6. after establishing a standard procedure and ensuring the calculation sheet in the spreadsheet is properly formatted, importing data into primavera p6 becomes a straightforward process. this approach is highly efficient and significantly reduces the risk of clerical errors.<\/p>\n\n

key takeaways<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nmaintain spreadsheet integrity: <\/strong>do not add any additional sheets to the exported spreadsheet to avoid import errors.
\nresource definition and assignment<\/strong>: define 世界杯时间比赛时间
<\/a> in primavera p6 and assign them to a placeholder activity before importing the corresponding resource values.
\nconsistent import\/export process:<\/strong> utilize the same import and export options for activities, duration, and relationships. ensure you select the appropriate export option and correct template for successful re-import.<\/p>\n
