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 everyone,

I am working on a new schedule, which i have to make in arabic language totally. I made a complete wbs & activility list on excel file for foundation, typical floors and roof floors. But, when ever I try to import it to primavera either directly from excel or sdk dictionaries, the output coming in primavera is funny and stupid characters or simple question marks. I have tried many types of fonts formats and also tried to solve it through user defined fields but the result is negative.

I will be thankful and appreciate any help in this matter as i have to submit this plan on urgent basis.

 

Thanks & Best Regards,

FM
