Hi everybody.

This is my first input to planningplanet. Sorry if it was answered in the past. I coudnt find anything about it.

 

The point is that the projects I usually hande have more than 65000 relatioships. I use P6 version 15.1 and the only export format I get is in Excel (.xls). And that kind of excel have a limitation of 65000 rows.

Is there any way to get an export on .xlsx (Excel 2010 or above) directly from P6? It's getting impossible to export all relationships at a time whe my projects reach maturity.

Thank you in advance

Create a relationship report and add whatever column you want in it and save it in csv or txt format of your choice.

But if you are just looking for the complete list of relationships you really don't need any of them!

Go to Report window > click on the create new report button> Select activity relationships. select columns that you need (probably pred activity id, description, rel type, lag, successor act id and desc, etc)  and group and sort and filter of your choice and run it ans save it as Delimited Text File and use CSV as the file extension. you can then open it in excel.

 

In case you are trying to modify those relationships you can use third party softwares. The best free software is XERfileparser. I don't get into that since I don't want to bore you with the details of how modify relationships directly in XER or by using the third party softwares.

No.

There are very clever commercial solutions to your problem.  Probably the best out-of-the-box solution is to export an XER file, and edit it. Not difficult, just not very automated.......
