Importing Activity Codes & Values into Primavera

In the Open Standard

Hello all,

Any ideas on this would be much appreciated. I have approx 300 new Activity Codes and Values that I need to enter into P6. I have these data already loaded into an Excel sheet (so copying ad pasting can be done) I just wondered if anyone knows of a trick to import these data directly?
I have tried running an export that lets me see the Activity Codes, however I do not see the Code Descriptions (as an Excel file). Is there a method of exporting the fields first allowing me to import the newer codes?

Once again, many thanks

    Hi Jonathan,

    You can export the new activity codes using SDK (Dictionary6x).

    Regards,

    Hello Arnold,

    Thank you very much for your advice, would you believe that ’we’ run stand alone versions of P6 (no Enterprise) so we dont have the Software Development Kit installed and functional.

    Thanks again

    Hi Jonathan,

    SDK can be installed after the standalone or the PM module has been installed.

    You just insert CD 1, then modify your installation then select SDK in the features to be installed. the SDK xls utilities can be downloaded thru the POINT.
