import csv or other file into existing project

Steve Greenberg

We have been working with Omni Plan and would like to import existing project management schedule files into our SmartSheet projects that have already been started.  Eventually we'll do all the project schedule management ( we're a construction company) as part of the sheets but we're new at this and I don't need to stress out my production manager at his point.

 

Is it doable?  We can export ics, csv, microsoft project, from Omn

The 'Import Excel File' should work on properly generated .csv's and the 'Import MS Project File' option should work on .mpp's

 

You could try importing the .csv/.mpp as a new sheet and when you are ready you could move the rows to your existing project. This would also allow you to modify and limit the data passed to the production manager.
