Paste Link 'Outline Level' from Excel into Project get error

I am trying to generate a MS Project schedule based on linked data in an Excel spreadsheet. I cannot get the summary project tasks to appear with their sub-tasks. When I try to paste link the Outline Level into Project, I get and error that states
"The paste link operation failed. You cannot paste into a field that project calculates automatically." However, I can manually type the Outline Level into the project and it changes the task-subtask relationships as it should. How can I get this
to work?

This error just means that you can’t paste a link just anywhere you like, just as you can’t type data into just any cell. change the excel data source schedule without calculate. see the link:

  • Is there a way to allow users to paste in a graph from Excel into a textfield?

    I have not seen this capability, wondering if it is possible.  Users of my form will need to past in a graph they created in Excel as part of the write-up they will discuss in a textfield.  Barring that, is there a way to identify an image object that the user can populate at run time, associating a JPG they select to be embedded into the form as opposed to attached to the form?
    This form will have digital signatures so form attachments will not be possible.  I can default to a portfolio and have the user drop in the Excel sheet, etc., but it would be nice if they could type up info in to the textfield and drop in an image into the same textfield.
    Thanks,

    In my experience, the biggest problem is most users are not aware of how to attach files as comments. There's a specific tool for this in the "Comments > Annotations" panel in Acrobat/Reader 10/11 (paperclip icon). Previous versions are different. So it's a good idea to provide instructions. I will usually include a button that when clicked will provide instructions in a popup, tailoring them to the version of Reader/Acrobat being used. This is done with a relatively simple JavaScript.

  • Import from Excel to Project - blanks cells are having dates automatically added

    Hi. I'm very new to Project but have started setting up a Roadmap using it which is working fairly well so far, although have hit one snag.
    I have data in Excel: it is a list of projects with 4 columns containing the dates of various stages (planning, initiate, execute, close). I have created a reusable map so this can be imported into Project and the Gantt chart to show pre-defined markers
    on the timeline for each stage on each project row. All well and good so far.
    However, not all of the projects in Excel have all of their dates defined. E.g. a project might not yet have a close date. But when this is imported into Project a date gets applied for it. I have no idea why!
    How do i get the import into Project to allow any blank cells from Excel to remain as blank so that nothing is plotted on the Gantt chart for that particular section?

    Thanks for both of your replies. I have tried this and the same issue occurs. I have checked each row in the imported Project data and they are all showing as set to 'manually selected' yet at some point in the import Project is adding data to blank cells.
    I have retried using a simple test excel sheet and when this too is mapped into Project, any blank cells get populated with the date that appeared in the preceding row for some reason:
    I can then go through and manually delete this cell in Project (which then replaces it with an "NA") - but if i have to manually do this whenever importing from Excel into Project then it makes it very time consuming.
    Surely there must be a way for Project to not auto-populate blank cells? Or am i missing something fundamental?

  • Importing Data from Excel into Primavera

    Hello:
    I'm trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet of a given set of columns (i.e. template) into Primavera. I wish to copy the data from Excel into a new activity at the Activity Level and have set up the template already at the Activity Level.
    It is easy to copy and paste data from Primavera into Excel, but it is not straight forward to copy Excel data into Primavera. I believe you have to import the data, but I do not know how to. Is there documentation somewhere that I can access, or is there someone who knows that can help?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can control the activities that are exported with the user of a filter in the template options.
    Go to Modify template options Add a new template or modify the existing
    template. The template contains options for exchanging data with
    Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Click Modify to
    customize the selected template
    Select a Subject Area in the Modify Template dialog box to modify its
    options. In the Columns tab, select the fields to export. The available
    options are based on the selected subject area.
    In the Modify Template dialog box, click the Filter tab to select the
    activities you want to export for the selected subject area. If using more
    than one filter, choose to show activities that meet all selection criteria in
    each filter, or to show activities that must meet only one selection criteria
    in each filter. Select the filter(s) to use for the export file. If necessary,
    click Modify to edit the selected user-defined filter. The fields available for
    filtering are based on the selected subject area.
    Have a great day,
    Saryn

  • Placing Named Ranges from Excel into InDesign

    InDesign CS3 5.0.4, Excel 2003, Windows XP.
    I have placed named ranges from Excel into InDesign and linked them. The Excel file consists of multiple worksheets. I go back now a few months later to update the files. I go to place a couple of new ranges from new worksheets and they don't show up under the correct sheet. ALL my named ranges now show up under the first worksheet only.
    Anybody ever had this happen?
    JAG

    I've upgraded to CS5.5. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred placing named ranges into InDesign from Excel works fine. One time out of a hundred I still see all my named ranges on the first worksheet and none on the rest of the worksheets where I originally named them.
    I save the Excel files as XLS.
    Am I the only one in the universe having this problem?
    Can I get an answer?

  • How do i import a table from excel into dw8?

    I want to import a table from excel into a table in dw8, i
    just want the data inside the excel table to be imported to the
    table in dw8.
    The tables has the same stracture - number of rows and
    columns.
    is it possible?
    btw special paste is no good, since it copies the stracture
    of the table from excel which contains <td height="17">,
    which is not good coding - td doesn't support the height
    option.

    table without special paste:
    <table width="90%" border="1">
