Yes, you can LINK (using interproject relationship) two project with different planning units but you CANNOT merge (TOOL >>>> PROJECT UTILITIES >>>>> MERGE) two project with different planning units.
Thank you I O.....it really made sense to do that. Ive explored the interproject relationship and just wondering if there is an easy or faster way of linking the activities/project.
My concern specifically is that is there a way I can export a template (similar to (in P3) using tool>>>>Project utilities>>>>>Export then import later) make the links maybe in Excel (or WK1) format and import back as against linking it one after the other in interproject relationship?
Similarly, a file with extension .IPT is created, do you know of any program (excel, word pad etc) I can use to open this file?
Ive got up to 2,000 tasks to link this way. Thank you (or anyone) for offering solution.
I presume you are not running the projects in a multi user environment... You can use Interproject Relationships to create links between the 3 projects... You can also convert Project A planning unit to hours, but create a column for Duration in Days, and use Global change to calculate hours based on the days input...

Koko,
"can I merge two or more projects with different planning units"? I believe yes, you can merge, but how it will calculate? I dont know.
why you need to do it?
