Hi Rodel,

I was interested about what you taught to Mr. Henk van der Heide regarding the subject matter. I tried to follow your instruction. But unfortunately, I didn’t find such command for .xls. I can import such resources by using copy and paste to excel but i cannot import such edited resources from excel to P3ec. I am using P3ec V4.1. Is P5 has already such command to import & export to Excel files?

Tnx & Regards,

Benito

Hi Benito,

I believe NO. I’m not sure if there is Service pack available to upgrade P3ec 4.1 to have (.xls) import/export.

Hello Rodel your tip was good. I used the activity export and that didn’t work but you’re right, the resource assigment export does the trick, thanx.

And towards Benito, The import, export function with excel is possible only in the version 5.0.
If you use a lower version you should use the software development kid in combination with a excel spreadsheet which you can get from your primavera representive. But this is far les power full then the function in version 5.0


Kind regards

Henk

Hello Rodel/Henk van der Heide,

Thanks for the information. Actually I used the lowest version of P3ec in my PC. But we had already new version of P5 in my office in Russia. I will try to used this function when I am back next month. Actually I am a sophomore in this field of works and your help would mean a lot. Once again thanks.

Benito
