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.

Here comes another question Planners,

What specific data can not be modified by exporting to and importing back from Excel? For example, I could not change the Activity Type of a task using Excel. Is it because it can not be done or am I just doing sth wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot change activity type.

 

For a list of all the fields you can/cannot chnage - export all the fields.  Where there is a * in fron of the fields name

 

e.g. (*)Activity Type

 

The field cannot be imported and hence changed.
