It works in the follwing way:

1 Export your xls data to clipboard: 1 Line = 1 Task.

2. Start TILOS 7 and Open the project

3. File / Import Menu

4. Select option ASC TXT

5. Select datasource = Clipboard

6. Select Import profile or Create a new rule: (Press F1 for help how to set up)

7. Slect sub project where data should go to

8 Import

You can import tasks, but also links etc...

Which version of TILOS you use? Copy-Past from Excell work quite well in TILOS. IF you want to use complex excell file for import you need to have macro instaled

Save as CSV (MS-DOS)



Try saving the file from excel as a CSV(MS-DOS) file and try to import this file from Asta Tilos. CSV(MS-DOS) file format for many decades have been unchanged an probably will never be, it is a universal standard, contrary to worksheet files that every few years are changed. If Asta Tilos selection for file import was CSV(MS-DOS) it was a smart choice.



In case the required format is not coma separated value or CSV you can try with a copy and paste from the worksheet to windows notepad and then try importing from the notepad file.

Hi Mai



I don’t run Tilos but usually with Asta products you can copy paste directly from the programme to a spreadsheet and back again.



Best regards
