NEED Help Importing new Activities.

Hi All,
I am working on a project where I have been asked to add two new activities to all the 841 WBS codes belonging to the project. That means I have to add around 1600 new activities. So instead of going through the tedious task of adding those manually, I was wondering if there was an easier way like importing from Excel or anything else to do this. I need to finish this within this week, so I need help urgently.
Please Help

You can absolutely add new activities in via Excel import however how much easier this ultimately is depends on the structure of your project (ActIds, Codes, Relationships, etc) and the underlying data to be added.
In a large project I have some exposure to Excel is used frequently to make activity level additions/changes, but the schedulers spent a decent amount of time early in the project re-naming activity ID's for grouping purposes (I believe specifically to help with excel imports).
If your additions to each WBS follow any sort of consistent pattern then it may be quicker to use Excel. Even if it ends up not saving much time initially, at the very least you will have a process down for the next time you need to make major changes to your schedule.

    OK, if this is a template file and you are trying to customize a single word, or a list of words that are always in the same places (I was thinking at first that you want to change words in one part of a paragraph if some other trigger word appeared), like a form letter that needs to have the recipients name inserted, then you can use either a custom text variable or Data Merge.
    For one-off production the variable is probably easier -- just redifine the text string  each time you make a new copy, but if you have a list of words and want to make a copy for each one in a single session, Data Merge would be more efficient.

  • I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

    I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
    Thanks

    In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons. 
    #1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing.  After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
    #2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
    #3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
    That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

  • I Need Help Importing my Contacts Onto my New (old) Palm phone.

    I need to import my contacts onto my Palm Centro. As of now, they are in a .csv file. When I select import from the Palm Desktop file menu and browse for my contact file, it shows the file grayed out. Even if I instruct the program to allow all file types, it doesn't work. I've read that the Centro needs a .aba file- but I can't find a converter that works. 
    I'm on a Mac but it has OSX and Windows 7, so I can use any program/service that you guys can suggest. Even if you don't know a program that can do what I need, I also want to know definitively what file format my Palm Centro wants these contacts. 
    I know this is an old phone, but there must be a way to do this (and avoid typing in 400+ contacts). 
    Thanks very much in advance! 
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Have you tried this program?

  • [Athlon64] Noob needs help optimizing new system

    Sorry to post yet another thread, but I've been lurking for the past few days and I only get bits and pieces of what I need. I'm pretty clueless about this stuff as it's my first home-built system
    See my sig for system info...
    I'm needing help with bios settings. The pertinent stuff (I think - hopefully I got it all down):
    CELL MENU
    CPU Clock speed: 2200
    DDR Memory Freq: 100.0 MHz
    High performance mode: Manual
    Cool n quiet: Disable
    HT Freq: 800 MHz
    Dynamic overclocking: Disable
    Adjust CPU Ratio: Auto
    AGP Freq: By Default
    HT Voltage: Auto
    Mem voltage: Auto
    CPU voltage: Auto
    AGP Voltage: Auto
    Spread sectrum: Disable
    DRAM
    DRAM Clock Mode: Manual
    Mem clock value: DDR200
    CAS Latency: SPD
    Burst Length: 8 Beat
    Bank Interleaving: Auto
    Active to CMD (Trcd): SPD
    Active to precharge (Tras): SPD
    Precharge to active (Tvp): SPD
    DRAM IT Timing: Disable
    ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES
    AGP Mode: Auto (this is "greyed out")
    AGP Fast write: Enabled
    AGP Aperture size: 128
    VLink 8X supported: Enabled
    My questions mainly concern memory. I bought all this stuff at the Tiger Direct outlet store in Naperville, Illinois. I had intended to buy the K8T Neo-FSR (754 pin), but they were supposedly out of the 754 pin 3400+, and this board/CPU combo had a $100 rebate. Yeah, it's one of those deals with the odd 939 pin 3400+ that everyone has been talking about.
    In any case, I already had the Corsair CMX512-3200C2PT picked out, as Corsair said it was compatible with the board. I wasn't aware of the MSI compitibility chart until I came here later that night. I STILL can't find that chart off of the MSI web site.
    Anyway, I got it all hooked up and got the standard 4 red LEDs. Not knowing what to do, I took it back to Tiger Direct and the tech played around with it until he stuck an el-cheapo stick (Corsair VS512MB400) in there and it worked. But it only works in slot 2. So here I am.
    I started to run memtest86, but it took too long to run and I aborted it for now. For what it's worth, it said the RAM CAS value is 2.5-2-2-5. I don't know what the hell that means, but I know it's important.
    My questions:
    1. I assume I need manually to set my memory clock value to DDR400?
    2. Now that I can get the thing to post, is there any chance I could get the "good" Corsair memory to work by setting the correct latency/CAS values? Again, I don't know what I'm talking about, so forgive my ignorance. What I'm wondering is if I can set everything to what Corsair recommends while I have the cheap memory in there and then replace it with the good stuff?
    3. With this board, am I better off with double-sided or single-sided sticks? As I said, I went into the store intending to buy the Neo 754-pin board, but they were out of the Athlon 3400+ in 754 and only had the 939 pin.
    4. Anything else in my bios settings that stand out and need to be addressed? I want to make sure everything is optimized.
    EDIT: I almost forgot: My CPU temp is runing around 42-49 degrees. Am I in the danger zone? I just bought a generic cooler for now and intend to get a Thermalright XP-120, but I can't find it locally, so it will have to wait.
    AND FINALLY...
    I don't know if this is related to anything above, but I have been having a hell of a time getting the 6600GT to run DirectX9+ games. The latest drivers for Windows 98SE was 66.94. Yes, XP will be installed soon, but for now... It was failing on dxdiag test for Direct3d 9 and also the third DirectDraw test. I was about to give up and take it back when I discovered that a new beta driver came out today (71.84). I installed it and it passed all of the dxdiag tests. I thought I was in hawg-heaven, but when I run Call of Duty (the only DX9 game I have besides HL2), it slows to an absolute clawl. The level starts out somewhat normal at first, but quickly slows down to the point that performance can only be measured in seconds per frame! All of the patches 1.5 and 1.51 for UO have been installed, but that shouldn't make a bit of difference.
    If I don't get my CoD fix soon I'm gonna reinstall that Geforce3.
    Thanks much and sorry again for such a long post.

    Thanks everyone for the recent replies, but I started this thread almost a month ago (March 3rd), and much has changed since then.
    New PSU (see sig).
    Replaced the PNY Geforce6600GT with a eVGA 6800
    Added another stick of the Corsair Value Select 512 RAM. I didn't even bother trying to get the "primo" CMX stick to work. I just returned it.
    Went from Windows 98SE to XP Home.
    The PSU did nothing for me at all, but I suppose it's better to have some headroom in the amperage.
    The biggest performance booster was the additional 512MB of RAM. It wouldn't have done me any good in 98SE, but I was shocked at how much it helps XP. Quitting a game is almost instant now, where before it would take a good two minutes or so for XP to recover itself.
    As for games running slow, the 6800 fixed it right up. CoD absolutely screams now, as does everything else I've thrown at it (HL2, Doom 3, Far Cry). I think the 6600GT was just bad or there is a serious driver problem with the 6600GT's. Went from 3DMark03 score of around 5000 (when it didn't crash) to above 9000 now. And this was all before adding the additional RAM.
    Oh yeah, I bought a 74GB Raptor. No RAID for now though. So far I'm not real impressed with the performance. I'm running off of the VIA controller, since my board doesn't have the Promise controller. I don't see much improvement in loading times as compared to the 40GB 7200rpm Maxtor I have running on IDE1. The only time it beats the pants off the Maxtor is defragging. But there's only so much entertainment value in that.  The Sandra "file system benchmark" gave me 57 MB/s, which seems pathetic, but I've read some posts here where others are getting an identical rate.
    And I'm not too happy to discover, too late, that my overclocking capabilities are severely limited while using SATA.
    I do have one more question for now:
    When I installed the second 512MB stick, I originally had both sticks in slot 1 and 2. I ran Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark and got a much lower score than with the single stick (around 3500 MB/s). WHen I had the sticks in 1 and 3, it jumped up to close to 6000 MB/s. Why is that? Just curious.

  • Need help buying new hard drive

    I have a macbook that needs a new hard drive and need help knowing what hard drives to buy that will be compatible with it. It is a macbook pro 17inch model no: A1297.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

    Any 2.5" diameter, 9.5mm thick SATA drive will be compatible.  Currently they come up to 1.5 TB in capacity.  I have a 1 TB Seagate SSHD (hybrid) drive installed in my primary MBP.  The cost is a modest premium over a conventional HDD of the same capacity.  Boot and shutdown times are significantly faster when compared to a conventional HDD,  I can recommend this as an option.
    If the bank account permits, an SSD will produce the overall maximum performance gains.  Boot, shutdown and resource hungry applications will be noticeably faster.  Casualyll use such as e-mails and text editing will produce no meaningful performance differences compared to a conventional HDD.
    I am of the opinion that the cost premium is still too high for the benefits that they afford.  Other have different views.
    Ciao.
