Copying and Pasting Cells in the Resource and Values Sheet

You can copy and paste resource estimate cells in the resource sheet and values sheet. If you have two Integrated Planning windows open, you can copy and paste cells between the windows. Copying estimates is a fast way to enter information into a resource estimate. You can also copy entire resource estimates. For information on copying estimates, see Copying and Pasting Estimates.

To copy one or more cells, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the cell(s) you want to copy.  To select more than one cell, hold down the left mouse button and drag across the cells.

  2. Place the cell(s) on the clipboard by doing one of the following:

 MPM may display a dialog box asking you to confirm the paste. Otherwise, the estimates are pasted immediately into the grid.

  1. To confirm the paste, choose Yes. MPM may display a dialog box asking if you want to save the changes in the ETC as well. Otherwise, the estimates are pasted immediately into the grid.

  2. To save the changes to the ETC, choose Yes.

Cutting and Pasting

If you want to remove cells from one WBS element and place them in another WBS element, you can use the Cut and Paste commands. The procedure is the same as copying and pasting, except you use the Cut command instead of the Copy command.
