You can cut/paste spreadsheet data into the spreadsheets of ProjectLibre. You can import the .csv into OpenOffice or LibreOffice spreadsheets. You can also rearrange the spreadsheet in ProjectLibre to whatever columns match up and then just paste the data into ProjectLibre. We can do a mapping/import in the future to allow import directly of .csv. There is just a lot of things on the list.
