I ran into this exact problem when I exported a project from Project for the Web to an Excel workbook. When I tried to import the workbook into Microsoft Project, the From: Excel field rows were blank in the Import Wizard dialog.
Oddly enough, I was able to resolve the problem by copying and pasting the contents of the original Excel workbook into a totally new blank workbook and then saving it with a different name. I would suggest that you try this method to see if it resolves your problem as well. Hope this helps.

Hi John-project
I selected the "Source Worksheet" and also selected the "Tasks" checkbox. I am unable to pull down the list in the "From: Excel field" and also map "To Microsoft Project field". Attaching the screenshot of my map wizard.

robertpoddar,
It sounds like Dale may have the solution for you. However if you are still having issues, VBA is a fallback solution and I'd be happy to help you with that.

John - robertpoddarJul 22, 2022Copper ContributorHi John.
The solution that Dale provided worked. In the sense i was able to import the data into the MS Project.
The issue is that i am not getting the desired results, which i need to further fine tune the importing of data.
Thank you so much for helping me..
