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.

Dear Planners,

 

I am having an issue with the SDK module and its running of the Dictionary 6x Excel sheet. I have begun to construct a new database instance on the P7 system and have imported a list of Resources using the Dictionay 6x. The Resources were set fine and I can use them. I now use 'Get Resource Rate' and the resources all appear as set. I then return to the login page and 'Set Resource Rate' without making any alterations to the data but this causes an error;

 

Row 3: Invalid Value XoType:1 for column:start_date with XoType:11.

 

I now have several hundred resources that are on in the Resource Library but I am unable to mass manipulate these to add the varying rates for their Price/Unit or set the Effective dates;

 Can anyone reccommend a route to add Price/Unit values and associated Effective Dates to the resources, preferably with a fix to the SDK - Dictionary process or another process?

 

Many thanks for your planning help.
