Doing something I though was simple, update Physical % complete by import of Excel data file (using format from previous export). Will not work for some reason, tried several times. On import I get message that ’import is successful’, but no data in field. I can type the data in the field but not into long term typing exercise. Have managed to import start dates and RDU etc (after a few tries and losing WBS in process) but not %??? Does anybody else find this import/export feature a real pain in the a$$?? Every step, every time, in some cases will only read 1 field, sometimes more. GGGGGGH.

I have had the same problem as you have.
According to Primavera, you need to update the Activity % Complete field in your Excel file. Then when importing, the scheduler will update the corresponding % complete field depending on the % complete type you have configured for each activity.
But I still get the same problem again sometimes. So I am not sure what is going on.
Hope it helps

The only fields I update are start and finish dates and activity percent complete. I do it all 3 in one import session and it works fine except for the ocasional errors in the percent complete as I mentioned before.
Do you have to do the import of activity percent complete after doing the import of dates for the percent complete to come up right?
