(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Quick question as I don't have Primavera I can't answer a simple question: Can you copy and paste a simple table showing the items below out of Primavera and into Excel?

I am not sure about ASTA but you would have to import the excel file into P6
Is Mike not saying that you can copy paste from excel back into Asta? You can't do this in P6.
Robert you can do this in p6 now except for the RAG set up your columns and select all of your activities right click and select export to excel
Hi Mike,
Wow I can see how that feature would be VERY useful. P6 needs to gain this function!
Rob
Hi Robert. Yes the columns in Asta are a spreadsheet fully compatible with Excel or Lotus. It makes data entry a doddle. A full progress update in seconds.

Yes exporting is fine. Sorry, I thought Mike was referring purely to copy and paste. I may have been wrong.
yes set al lthe columsn up as you want them then hghlight all of the activites then right click and select export to excel.
Hi Mike,
Sadly no; the best you can do is to copy a single value into say, the activity name field. You cannot paste information in a table format. Is is possible in ASTA?
Rob
Hi Robert
Can you copy - paste it back again?
Best regards
Mike Testro
thanks :)
Hi Miles,
Yes you can copy and paste anything like that from P6 into Excel.
