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.

Hello all,

Any ideas on this would be much appreciated. I have approx 300 new Activity Codes and Values that I need to enter into P6. I have these data already loaded into an Excel sheet (so copying ad pasting can be done) I just wondered if anyone knows of a trick to import these data directly?
I have tried running an export that lets me see the Activity Codes, however I do not see the Code Descriptions (as an Excel file). Is there a method of exporting the fields first allowing me to import the newer codes?

Once again, many thanks

Hi Jonathan,

If it is okey for you, can you send me the excel file and I will do it for you within only 5 minutes I will send you the files in .XER format.

Hi Jonathan,

SDK can be installed after the standalone or the PM module has been installed.

You just insert CD 1, then modify your installation then select SDK in the features to be installed. the SDK xls utilities can be downloaded thru the POINT.

Hello Arnold,

Thank you very much for your advice, would you believe that ’we’ run stand alone versions of P6 (no Enterprise) so we dont have the Software Development Kit installed and functional.

Thanks again

Hi Jonathan,

You can export the new activity codes using SDK (Dictionary6x).

Regards,

Arnold
