DEAR ALL:
I don’t think the hour unit is working for my project,especially in petro/gas industry ,most our project,in practicular more than 1 or 2 years,maybe even longer,using hour unit maybe be made control more difficult and complicated,by this time we only use it for project progress control and basic cost control in our project,Day unit is better and practical than hour.
I have one more question want to learn from you and everyone in this pool,eh,now i am working on P6 AND i want export the all the activities to excel and edit/update the activities,you konw the owner require us to show english and russian,so that i hope i can put this two languages toghter inside Act-name COLUME,but it seems like P6 have not good performance in export/inport with excel, i tried so many time,it did not work,every time when i import the activities which i have edited in excel into P6, THE activities can not show in the right place,cause its can not indentify the right WBS,as a result all the ACTs which i have edited show on the top of WBS 1 level?,i don’t know how to slove it, is there anyone can help.i will appreciate!

Best Regards

    I have seen this. It happened consistently when I imported a spreadsheet into a project that was made in Version 4 of Primavera. Even If I was using that project in Version 5.

    Now that I am using version 6 I have had no further difficulties with this

    I met this problem when I export a project to excel and update the data,
    after that, I import this excel file to another project, becos of the WBS is not the same, so all the activities are riding on the 1st level of the WBS.
