Hello,

I use Importing features to automatically update my planning, I am using the 6.2 version and the following datas, among others which I do modify, are well imported : Actual Start; Duration % Complete.
My collegue is working on a 6.0 version and when importing the same data the result show that the % ara not taken into account.
Is this problem due to the type of the version, with both have the same settings for our parameters.
Thanks for help.
regards
Eric

    Hi Eric,

    The Duration % Complete cannot be modified using Excel sheet due to (*) sign while Actual Start can be changed. If you want to alter your Duration % complete in excel then you need to create and assign the UDF (User Defined Fields) say DUR%COMP.

    The UDF need to include during exporting data and change it using excel sheet. When done, export it back to P6.

    Create and Run a global change with corresponding parameters:

    Duration % complete = DUR%COMP

    Make sure before running the global change you need to have the actual start for each activities to be updated.

    Regards,

    Arnold
