Tips on using this forum..

(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.

Hi everyone,

is there a way to create resources by importing them from excel sheet? i tried to do so but seems like P6 ignores any added resource. I know i can update existing resources, but seems like there is no way to add new ones.

your help is appreciated

Check solution ID prim 65211

or else u can drop a mail at ravirajab@yahoo.co.in. I will fwd the excel file

BUT, for that

An Application user must have "View Global\Project Data Via SDK" Global Permissions to Export.

And Application user must have "Admin\Superuser" Global Permissions to Export and Import.


Cheers,

Rav

Software Development Kit (SDK) Web-Based Documentation = This is typically a set of development tools that allows a software engine to create applications for a certain software package.

Hi Ali,

You cannot create new resources using excel spreadsheet. You can only assign existing resources to your existing activities.

You must create your new resources in P6 Resource Window and assign them to your different existing activites.

The only workaround is to use SDK. You can create, add, modify & delete.

HTH.

Regards,

Arnold
