Hello guys

I have been able to extract from my company Informative system the list of all our coded resources.

Now, in my excel file, I have the list of all the resources’s ID, the description, the Unit and the price.

Is there any way to import in P3 at least the resource ID AND the description?
What I have been able to do so far, by exporting and importing a dbf file, is loading all the Resource ID.
It means that when I look at the resource dictionary all the resources ID show up but the resource description field is (of course) blank.

any suggestion?
Grazie
Filippo

    Hi,

    You can use project.xls/activity.xls to update p3 resources dictionary(including the description) and activities(Resources) in p3. those files can be found from P3 under Ra folder.

    Thanks Daya,

    because I do not have this folder called "RA" can you please explain this procedure more in detail?

    even searching the file you mentioned (project.xls/activity.xls ) I cannot find anything in my HD

    Cheers

    Flippo, Those files are available in P3 Installation CD. You check your CD first not the HD.
