Importing From Excel file will not import assignments correctly where there are more than one assignment per task

I am trying to import an excel file ... see below.   It appears if you select both Tasks and Assignments tables it will not allow you to do this, says file is not in a project recognized format.  So I import Tasks tab first then run the
wizard again and import the assignments tab while selecting merge with project option.   This works with one exception:
If there are more than one assignment per task.  It does not merge in the 2nd assignment, only the first.
Is there a way to import a task with 2 or more assignments?
Background
To figure out what the format for the file needed to be, I started with a MPP file and from project saved as Excel and selected the "Project Template" file.  Now I am trying to import that XLS to see how it works

Andrew,
I did a quick test using your example although I didn't include the Predecessor or Outline Level fields to keep things a little simpler. I imported the Excel data into a new Project file with a single import of task and assignment data. It is very important
to set up the Excel Workbook correctly. On Sheet 1 I entered the task data (Name, Duration, Start). I did not include the ID or finish date as that is redundant - Project generates its own ID and will calculate the finish date based on the start date and duration.
On Sheet 2 I entered the assignment data basically just as you show it except I didn't include the Units.
The data imported as expected.

  • Is it possible to make multiple playlists and set itunes so that it will not let you add a song to more than one playlist?

    I have a veryl large Itune library and want to make multiple playlists so that for example when driving long hours in the car I can change to another playlist and not have songs repeated.  I do realize if I noted down every song that was put in a playlist I would be able to accomplish this but it would be nice if there was some setting that I am unaware of that would keep track of this for me.  Any suggestions?

    To Clearify  for example I am wondering if their is a setting so that Itunes won't let me add a song to playlist A if it is alread on playlist B.  Any Suggestions?

  • Display includes lots of diamonds with question marks. Some are from curly quotation marks, which Firefox never did display correctly, but there are more than ever with 5.0

    PS the opposite problem, HTML code shows, in the American National Biography database. There, quotes sometimes show as """ and apostrophes sometimes display "r" never happened before and IE works fine.

    go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
    -> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> click OK
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select unwanted search engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Synch displays 'not enough space' msg but there are more than 1Gb free

    I have reset, my ipod nano (16Gb space) twice and still the audio bar shows there is 1.13 Gbs free and this is correct) but when synching, the error message says there is no space and then the audio bar shows no space available. I have untick and tick several times the synching of video and podcasts and still no luck.

    You can try restoring the ipod, this wipes it clean and itunes adds it all back UNLESS you don't have the files/songs on the PC

  • Import from Excel file to Oracle Db

    I want to import the datas from Excel file through query builder. I Know there is a option in query builder. But i dont know how to do?
    Plz help...
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If you are very specific to load using your tool only then below are the steps.
    In the main menu
    Go To Database-> Import -> Import Table Data
    In the screen select your schema and table name you wish to load in.
    Click on Show Data and after that click on Execute Wizard.
    This will ask for table type where you can select Excel file and then follow the wizard.
    Thanks.

    Yup, most users on this forum do not use MS Office, I'd suggest reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums hosted by Microsoft.
    Good luck.

  • After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialog.

    After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly anymore, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialogue.
    Some pictures have white squares with blue and red diagonal stripes that cover almost the complete picture.
    When opening those files I have the same problem in Camera Raw dailogue and even in Photoshop eventually.
    I tried to open the same same pictures on another computer with the same version of Bridge and Photoshop but the problem remains the same.
    It seems like the files itselves are still ok, because if you open an explorer window the previews of the pictures are all ok. And the pictures' sizes remain the same.
    I tried to clear the cache in both programs but it didn't help.
    Has anyone an idea????

    First see if a reboot of your PC helps.  If not,
    Resets may be in order:
    Photoshop: Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
    Bridge:  Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.
    Outdated graphics drivers can also cause display problems. Go to your GPU maker's website and be sure you have the latest drivers for your card model.

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

  • Only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

    only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

    Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
    In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use.

  • Problem: Importing from DVD to imovie. The DVD mpeg 4 file will not import

    I recently purchased ImTOO DVD Ripper Ultimate. I've successfully managed to rip some files to my desktop. But I'm now having an issue importing 1 particular mpeg 4 file to imovie for editing. I open imovie and locate the mpeg 4 file. Imovie window pops up: Optimizing Video - Processing Event. Nothing happens. Any advice?

    First advice: let it run. it may take a while.
    Second advice: Check for extra tracks like tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, chapter tracks. iMovie will not import files that have these. It is best to remove these using QuickTime Pro before editing.

  • Sony a7 mk2 ARW files will not import

    I have a Sony RX100 and LR 5.7 imports the ARW files ok, However I've just bought an A7 Mk2 and Lightroom will not import the ARW files from that camera. I've downloaded CameraRaw 8 so I can convert the files first and then import into LR, but it seems strange that I cant import and convert from withing LR itself.

    Use the links above to upgrade to LR 5.7.1 or if you have a Creative Cloud account subscription login to your account and check if there is a button indicating "install" available next to Lightroom and proceed to click the button and install the update.

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture
