Dear All
I am having problem with Import in P3.1
i defined a Activity Code as "Priority" & when i work on DBF file & assign values(1,2,3..) & want to import in P3 then it create problem of empty Space bcauz of right alignment of number on DBF file. I have tried to format the number as text, aligning left, triming the column, but all these not working & when i save & reopen the file its still in same format on DBF( not with simple xls).
This sort of Data if i am able to import even then on Activity code Column it starts with 2-3 Blank spaces which create problem if that activity code is defined for 2-3 digits only due to limitation of length of digit in Activity Code

Regards,

ATIF

    Try opening your dbase file using Excel ==>> File/Open/File type : dbase files

    Then edit your values within Excel, save as an Excel document and then import from Excel document.

    You can also try exporting activities Id’s to Excel, add the columns and their data as you need and then import back the files as to have the field vales matchup you are looking for.
