Merging Schedules w/ Different Planning Units

I tried merging two P3 files - each with a different planning unit i.e., one has "Weeks" and the other has "Days".
I first copied the file with "Weeks" and changed it’s unit to "Days". I used this copied version as the host and brought in the file with "Days".
P3 did not convert the host file’s "Weeks" to "Days". The numeric value of the OD remained unchanged but with different units. This doesn’t serve me any purpose.
e.g., 1 week became 1 day and NOT 5 work days.
Is there a way to have P3 convert the OD automatically from weeks to days (assuming the default Cal #1)?
Thanks,
Kashyap

Oldest first- 0David Kelly ·There are two reasons why you would merge projects with different planning units.
1) Summary reporting, i.e. the output project does NOT need to be scheduled. In this case the dates that come across for the "mixed" planning unis are correct and the summary project should NOT be scheduled.
2) Further scheduling. A global change will be required to change the durations of either the "daily" or "hourly" activities. This MUST be run before you schedule.
