Excel import into P6

Is there a guideline as to fields that won't be imported, for instance fields with an asterisk?

I try to keep from importing any calculated field. I simply export a copy of my project to Excel and then edit the data in the export. This way, you know that all fields that are exported can be imported.

Excel import into SQL

Hi,
Can anyone help me with this?
I have imported an excel spreadsheet with different tabs into SQL. One of the tables created from one of the tabs is returning "values" and "nulls" . The table contain 126 rows of Data in excel yet a total of 4509 rows were returned 4383 rows are all null. How do i modify the excel file to ensure that the unnecessary "null" cells don't get imported into SQL.
thank you

Hi Stephanie,
you need to check the datatype of your SQL, then your excel datatype must comply on it.
ex. SQL datatype is Float, then your excel values must only contain number, if in case the column is filled with any non numeric character it will give you null values

Excel Import of Dates while in Manual Task Mode

It appears that I cannot do an Excel import into start/finish fields for a task that is set to manual mode. Is this true, or am I overlooking something?
This is annoying. I am having to import into the temporary fields of start1/finish1, then copy the dates over to start/finish. Using manual mode is important because it ignores dates and holidays. If my customer says an activity is to occur
on a Saturday, then so be it; I can't have the tool changing it to Monday.

Hi John -
We have a Customer that has data in a SharePoint list. Included in this data is start and finish dates. Of course our preference would be to have this particular Customer join our Project Server instantiation as yet one more PWA user. However,
there are scores of people that are maintaining this legacy SharePoint list and we are trying to be accomodating to their interface. To that end, we are trying to devise a process that will allow us to periodically ingest their data into our Server.
Once in our Server, we can then start creating links from there to the rest of our Enterprise, most likely via Deliverable/Dependency relationships which we have tuned to a fine science with macros.
There are people I know and respect that HATE Manual Mode and think it the worst thing to ever happen to MS Project. I wouldn't go that far, but my initial impression of the capability was that it seemed to allow the ability to copy/paste a twin
column of start/finish dates from Excel and paste directly into the Project start/finish. Up until v2010, this was never possible --- copying a date into Start would set a "Start No Earlier Than" constraint and then plunking
a date into finish would then set a "Finish No Earlier Than" constraint and immediatly forget the start date that was just provided!!!! We have known that if you want to copy from Excel into Project, then you need to copy a start date and a duration
and let Project compute the finish, and cross your fingers that the finish date in Project matches the one in the Excel file. My current impression of the capability is that it still has a way to go to meet expectations. The fact that there are
smart people on this thread getting different results and none of us knows why is very troubling.
One more thing I will add about how we use Manual Mode. We switched our macros that create Depedency links to using manual mode. We did this for two reasons: (1) people were complaining about all the "Must Start" constraints that
we were setting. (2) This allowed us to force dates to weekends/holidays without the imposition of a 7-day calendar. Having so much as one record in schedule with Task Calendar set to anything other than "None" then prohibits the ability to
update a schedule in PWA. We have had tremendous success with using Manual Mode from this perspective.

Chris

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
Regards,
Barry

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Hi,

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.
Regards
Imran

Import EXCEL Worksheet into NUMBERS

I would like to import old excel worksheets into NUMBERS

In addition to what James already said, iOS Numbers has fewer fonts available than even the OS X version of Numbers, so the iOS version is even more likely to have to substitute.
Even if you go to one of the Office compatibility suites like Documents to Go or Google's QuickOffice, you may run into that problem on an iOS device - iOS apps simply do not support the number or variety of fonts available on an OS X or a Windows machine.
If you stick to simple fonts at the office (Arial, Calibre, Times) you will usually have few problems when you move the file to an iOS device.
Also note that things like color coding in cells, and other cell formatting in Excel may not survive the transition to Numbers in iOS (and especially not going back yet again to excel in Windows), so best to keep formatting simple as well.
The reality is that any Tablet OS is a compromise of a true desktop/laptop computer OS, and the more complex the desktop application, the more likely the tablet version has to make major compromises in compatibility. If you keep your desktop documents as simple and straightforward as possible, then you'll increase the ability to go back and forth from tablet to desktop.

Import excel graphs into illustrator

When I try to import the graphs from excel into Illustrator the text converts into a gibberish. Is there any proper way to import excel graphs into illustrator?

Obviously it helps if you have got the same fonts in the Excel and the Illie files. But I believe that this is not the whole answer – or at least there is a nice difference between gibberish and utter gibberish.
For example if you try to open a .docx or .xlsx file in TextEdit you will get totally mind-boggling utter gibberish, whereas .doc and .xls files usually behave more or less normally even if there is a font conflict.
Now Auntie Illie is very fussy about her fonts, so do what dandidotcom says first and if you still get utter gibberish even with the right fonts, try downsaving the Excel file to .xls.

How to import excel list into drop down menu in acrobat pro DC

Does anyone know if an excel list of 527 items can be imported into a drop down menu in adobe acrobat DC? I am on a mac v10.10.

I would convert the Excel worksheet into a tab delimited file. Edit that file in a text editor, not Word, into a list that meets the formatting for the array for the setItems. method. Then add the code to use that array to set the items for the drop down field. So you have something like:
var MyItems = new Array("One", "Two", "Three");
this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(MyItems);
You can then cut and paste this into the JavaScript console, highlight text and execute the text. Or cut and paste the code into a document level JavaScript.

Importing excel data into ZAM 7.5 using SQL2005

Hi,
I am running ZAM 7.5 and have about 6500 workstation records in inventory. I have an excel spreadsheet that has been maintained for several years with some demographic info in it such as Site, Department, Building, etc for about 4000 of those workstations. I would like to get that information into the ZAM SQL2005 database. Can I import the data into the SQL database directly or is there a tool to do it? There are no purchase records tied to this data so using the purchase record import does not seem like an option. Any advice?
Thanks,
Jay
