Resource assignment Importing

yep best bet is to do one activity and export it and use this as a templte to import it. The only thing is you must know what fields that you need to export

Shaun,

I always, only, import date from Excel into P6 using the template I have exported. If you build a spreadsheet by hand, if it is not spelt perfectly, you could get the error you describe. I think that the import is not successfully identifying the Cost Control field, so creates a dupli cat rather than uodates the existing.

Hi David,

Yes i am importing the 'Cost Account ID' Column, this column seems to be a mandatory column when exporting. however i am leaving this field blank.

would this make a difference in my issue? thanks

to fix this go to Projects Directory on left make sure that your project is open and make sure that it is highlighted

Click on the Resources tab at the bottom and on the right on the bottom under Resource Assignments make sure that 

Resources can be assigned to the same activity more than once is NOT checked.

Are you importing the Cost Account in your excel sheet? It is part of the index for the resource assignment table.
