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:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
