[Importing Data](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/importing-data?hsLang=en) January 17, 2024 # Chart locations are using 1,2,3,4 etc. ## This article provides a guide on resolving issues where Location Code (text) values override Location Start and End Values (numbers) ### Imported Data  When importing schedule data into Turbo-Chart, the results may look incorrect, where all tasks are placed on the location grid with values starting at 0 and incrementing to 1,2,3,4 etc instead of using the defined Start and End Location Values. ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=688&height=485&name=image-png-1.png) This issue is because because Turbo-Chart is generating Location codes from the imported data, and then listing those Locations as the position for activities on the chart. If there are both Location start/end values AND a location code, then the start/end from the Location Code Library will override the Location values. You can do one of the following to resolve: 1\) Remove the location code from the activity in the schedule data table, so that only start/end values are imported 2\) Configure the location code Start/End values in the Location Code Library. You only need to do this once, or when a new location code is created. Note that the location code library can be copied to excel, modified and then pasted back: ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-2.png?width=688&height=214&name=image-png-2.png) 3\) If pasting activities using the Paste Wizard, select \ as the mapped field for Location Code. See note below if you cannot select \ **Note if \ cannot be selected** If you find you cannot change this value, there are another few steps: 1. Note the field currently being mapped to Location Code. ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-34-54-6622-AM.png?width=688&height=365&name=image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-34-54-6622-AM.png) 2. Click on the “Clipboard Data” tab of the paste wizard ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-46-22-5983-AM.png?width=688&height=365&name=image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-46-22-5983-AM.png) 3. You will see all the data that is in the clipboard being shown, and the first row will be the headers ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-48-51-5057-AM.png?width=688&height=365&name=image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-48-51-5057-AM.png) 4. Find the header noted in step A above, and then modify this header text, say put a “zz” at the end ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-49-38-6569-AM.png?width=688&height=365&name=image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-49-38-6569-AM.png) 5. Return to the Location Code mapping and you should now be able to change it to “\” ![](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-50-44-8503-AM.png?width=688&height=365&name=image-png-Jan-17-2024-05-50-44-8503-AM.png) 6. You will not need to repeat the above steps each time pasting data in. You can then delete all the Location Codes from DATA\>LOCATION LIBRARY if required. This can also be done by copying the entire table to Excel, then pasting back in just a single row. - [Getting started](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Importing Data](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/importing-data?hsLang=en) - [Working with Charts](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/working-with-charts?hsLang=en) - [Printing and Publishing](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/printing-and-publishing?hsLang=en) - [FAQs](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Tickets](https://22261683.hs-sites.com/tickets-view) [![logo-white-line-02 (2)](https://learn.turbo-chart.com/hubfs/logo-white-line-02%20(2).svg "logo-white-line-02 (2)")](https://22261683.hs-sites.com/home?hsLang=en) Turbo-Chart Support, Linear Project Software Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia & London, United Kingdom [mailto:support@linearprojectsoftware.com](mailto:support@linearprojectsoftware.com) Copyright © 2025, Linear Project Software Pty Ltd
