Projection Pal assistance

[Cretins 22]

Does anyone use Projection Pal?  I've been using DB since 2007 and for the first time I've been trying to import other stats to see how it looks. 

Here's what I've done...
- Downloaded Projection Pal  (step 1 )

- Launched it and allowed all the things like enabling macros, etc

- Entered the Draft Buddy file name that I want it to reference (Step 2)

- Left Draft Buddy section as Site B (Step 3)

- Went to "QB Raw" tab.  (Step 4)  This comes prepopulated with an example of https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/projections/qb.php?week=draft which checks out as a valid page

- When I click on "New Query" or "Refresh Data" tabs, all seems good.  Projections update nicely here.  I've tested by deleting a bunch of data and it repopulates when I refresh.

- Confirmed that the column titles match the data in each column (Step 5)

- Confirmed the rows are correct (eg rows 3 - 75 for QB) and only have Projections selected (Step 6)

Everything according to the instructions and the queries from the site are obviously working.  BUT .. when I when I click on "Copy to Draft Buddy" it doesn't populate the data.  It chugs away for a bit, launches the specified Draft Buddy file, goes to the position tab, highlights the Site B section, then ... nothing.  It gets like 90% of the way there, but it doesn't populate any data.  I've tried for QB, RB and WR.  All do the same thing.  

Am I missing something?

I guess the follow up question, if this works, are there other recommended sites that Projection Pal can pull from.  Fantasy Pros is a good starting point. Any others that it's compatible with?

Hi Cretins. I have just the video for you. The issue with FantasyPros projections is they jam the player name and team together in one field. So when you update those projections, the names no longer match. Check out this video:

In terms of others, try to look for ones with a CSV download. That tends to be easier than the web query, because you can open the CSV in Excel and then copy/paste them into the position-Raw tabs. FantasySharks used to have a CSV download. I haven't checked that in a bit. 4for4.com has that, but it is subscriber only.

Awesome, thanks Mike.  That works great!
