Sonia, it could be due to your access levels, for example you will need import (superuser) access to import an excel file. Secondly, you need to have the project open which you want to import to, so when you choose the Import To... function it will then provide you with your selected project. Hope this helps.

Hi Arnold

Thank you for your reply

let me explain my problem again I click in import on the P5 file menu and choose spreadsheet (xls) option (I don’t have such a problem when I want to import xer or mpx or p3 files)





In the next step when I click in “import to “field to select the import destination I can not see any project to select. Although there are a lot project the list is empty .Therefore I can not select any destination to import my excel spreadsheet.

Do you have any idea why it happens?

Hi Sonia,



In order to import .xls format to P5/P6, first you must start from Primavera Windows (XER) format then export to Excel spreadsheet (XLS) format and modify it in excel.



Regards.
