Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello All,

Has anyone found a seemless way to export resources from a P3 schedule to P5. It shouldn’t be this hard ?

Keep planning,
Kevin.

Try to make excel file and import from it. To have a picture how it should look like try to export some resources from P5 to excel file. Also you can print resource base from P3 to .txt file, open it with excel and use some formulas to format it properly.

Sorry for bad English.

When you import a P3 file, it also imports all the resources that are assigned to activities. If you mean transferring a dictionary from P3 to P5 then yes it is a little more complicated.

What’s difficult about it? I found it easy and simple. Can you elaborate?
