Export a Resource Structure

  • The resource structure export produces two Excel files. The first file is the resource structure data. The second file is the resource calculation results data. If you want to import the resource structure data from another software tool into EVMax, you can use the EVMax export file as a model to build the data extract from the other tool. You can then set the calculation results for the resources once you have built out the resource structure. See Set Resource Calculations. You can also copy the calculation results settings from one resource to another. See Copy Resource Calculations.
  • You can use the resource structure export and import options to create the resource structure data. For example, you could enter an initial set of resource structure data including the resource calculation results, export that data, and use Excel functions to copy, add, and edit the rows. Once you have produced the set of resource structure and resource calculation results data, you can import the data into EVMax.
