    try this Create new

    try this 

    1. Create new activities in the project that you want to import the new activities to (in Primavera). The number of activities should match the number of new activities that  you want to add.
    2. Export the  Primavera file to Excel. Ensure you have the correct columns, including:
      • Activity ID
      • Activity Name
    3. In the Excel file replace the ‘Activity Name’ and other fields as needed with new activities. Ensure you don’t change the ‘Activity ID’ field.
    4. Import the Excel to Primavera.

    this procedure will update the existing "placeholder activities" with correct activities from the Excel.
