after a buncha tries, it seems that the problematic activities have a duration with an odd decimal, like 2.5 hrs.

apparently it works just fine with activities like 2.6 hrs.

strange.

if this may help...

in fact every activity is set on "duration".

I’ll look forward to the "duration (or physical) percent complete", but I’m pretty sure these fields are marked with an asterisk... doesn’t this mean that these fields cannot be updated by excel ?



thanks anyway for the answer.

I think your problem is that you are exporting the field Activity Percent Complete and you have the Percent Complete Type set to "Units" instead of "Duration" or "Physical" for the activities that are not working properly. The ones that work are most likely set correctly.



I find it better to use the appropriate percent complete field (Physical, Duration, Units) rather than Activity Percent Complete, since that field will show different information depending on the activity settings.



BTW, that’s also why Activity Percent Complete doesn’t roll up in Layouts.
