Importing from Excel

I have a brainstorm of the tasks that will be needed for my current project in Excel, showing task name, start date and duration. There's no import function for Project - is there a simple way to get the data across into Project - whilst preserving Project's wish to schedule tasks flexibly rather than fix dates?

RE: Importing from Excel

Hi Peter

Thanks for your question. You should be able to select your list of cells in Excel, copy them and then paste directly into the name column on the the table on your Gantt chart.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Entering Days

To type in a day of the week, or its three letter abbreviation, in a Date field type "Monday" or "Mon", and Project will show the date for the next Monday after the current date.
