Copying Activities from Excel and other apps

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Sometimes you want to copy a list of activities from another app and pastes them quickly into Planera.

Copying activities (with or without their duration) from other software such as MSFT Excel, Google Sheets, Notepad, Word, or similar programs is straightforward.

If copying from a spreadsheet or spreadsheet-like software:

  1. Create two columns - column 1 should contain the Activity name, and column 2 should have duration (duration is optional).


  2. Select the desired cells and copy them (usually Ctrl+C)

  3. Navigate to the desired location on Planera Canvas

  4. Press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac), then select Paste as Multiple Activities to add activities with their durations to the canvas, or paste directly as a text box.


    Or right-click and select Create X Activities

Note:

  • If copying from a text editor like Notepad or MS Word, ensure each activity is on a new line and durations are separated by the tab key

  • You can also copy only the activity names without their durations. Just select the single column with the activity names from the spreadsheet and copy.

  • Duration can be in any of the following formats:
