This thread has made my day.



I know that it seems obvious but ......



Thanks for the question. Thanks for the answer.



Agree with KB - why would you use excel - this is easy.

Why would you bother with excel to search and replace single words? You can do it just as easily in Primavera without the overheads of an export and import.

Easy way is export to Excel ActID & Name.

Use Excel to search & replace.

Re-import back

And before you do the find & replace thing, make sure your schedule is sorted by anything other than activity name. Otherwise after each change, the activities will be reordered and the search & replace might stop before everything is finished.

U don’t need a GC,

Press "Ctrl + R"

Find "Design" and replace all of them with "Sponsor" for example.
