The constraint dates of some tasks lie before the project start date.Since we do not want to follow this assumption either, we cannot import these values. Milestones with 99% completion have been imported as being 100% complete as Merlin Project does not support this configuration.įrom Microssoft's previous decision, it naturally follows that a milestone can also be completed differently than 0% or 100%.By definition, a milestone is completed or not completed. We don't know what led Microsoft to the decision to give milestones duration or even work. Milestones with non-zero work or duration or with unequal actual start and finish have been imported as regular activities because Merlin does not support these configurations.If they are required, a normal transaction can be used for this purpose. Merlin Project does not support different transaction types and therefore does not support buffering. Merlin Project does not support this concept. Percentaged lags on dependencies were ignored.Merlin Project does not support blank lines between tasks, as the various sorting and grouping functions would repeatedly conflict with blank lines. Note that outline or WBS codes can always be used as a stable reference to activities. Subsequent row numbers were changed by this. Empty task rows were not imported because Merlin Project does not support this concept.

This shows in detail the values that were not imported into Merlin Project due to different calculations or data structures. The value 'x' on element 'y' could not be imported and was ignored.In order to calculate the values contained in them anyway, they are stored on the base costs. There are no cost resources in Merlin Project. However, their assignment costs have been converted into base costs. Cost resources have not been imported because Merlin Project does not support them.Since the concepts of both programs are quite different in individual cases, one or more messages may appear in Merlin Project after importing an MS Project file: MS Project users open Project XML Files thus. To export, call File -> Export -> MS Project. Merlin Project also supports export in Project XML files.
