Extract and Include

Hello friends,

Previously i prepared a schedule for a Project,

Schedule 1: includes WBS A - WBS B - WBS C (all WBS & Activities are inter related)

Later due to change in project i removed WBS C totally. And even made changes in relationship between WBS A & B activities.

Schedule 2: includes WBS A - WBS B.

Now i have been asked to include WBS C.

My question is whether can i extract WBS C from Schedule 1 along with the relationships that C activities had with A & B and whether can i include/attach WBS C in Schedule 2?

Experts please guide me. Hope u understand my problem.

Regards,

Hi Ganesh,

If I understand your problem correctly, then I would say if you have Schedule 1 available then you can copy the activities only from Schedule 1 for WBS C and paste in to Schedule B. Before this operation you need to create blank WBS C in Schedule 2.  You can do it using following steps.

- Create WBS C for Schedule 2.

- Open Schedule 1 & Schedule 2 by selecting both projects using "shift" key at the same time.

- Go to Schedule 1 activities and copy the WBS C items and paste in WBS C of Schedule 2.

- Please note this added items will have internal relationships only i.e. relationship between WBS C items only. It will not copy the relationships with the items of WBS A & WBS B. You have to add the relationships for WBS C items with WBS A & WBS B items one by one only.

Hope this will help.

Good Luck
