Importing a Microsoft Excel Source Definition

  

Defining Ranges

The Designer creates source definitions based on ranges you define in Microsoft Excel. You can define one or more ranges in a Microsoft Excel sheet. If you have multiple sheets, define at least one range for each sheet. When you import sources in the Designer, each range displays as a relational source.

You must define a range in the Designer to import the Excel source.

To define a range:

1.    Open the Microsoft Excel file.

2.    Highlight the column or group of columns of data to import.

Click Insert > Name > Define.

 

3    Enter a name for the selected range and click OK. 如上图

4.    If you have multiple sheets, select each sheet and repeat steps 1 to 4 to define ranges for each set of data.

5.    Click File > Save.
