Hi



Why don’t you simply try:

IF: Your condition / filter or leave blank if for all activities

Then: "Activity ID" = X (i.e. the character you want to add) & "Activity ID"

Export along with the relationships, you will have 2 sets of activities when you import back, delete the first set by fitering/sorting.



Hope this works

Export the project file into excel.



Copy the activity id column into ’column B’ in a new spreadsheet.



In ’column a’ put the prefix you want to put in front of your activity id.



In ’colum c’ type the formula =’column a’&’column b’



Drag this down so that it is done for every activity.



Copy ’column c’ and paste special values back into the exported project file.



Save it, then import back into primavera.

Hi Oliver



Thanks but this will not work as i have the logic already defined and by what you are telling me will only create new id in primavera.



I wanted to know the steps for adding a charecter in fornt of the activity ID using Global change.



Can any one give me the steps.



Thanks
