    Hello ,

    We have excel tools in the Appmarket. Let me elaborate the steps for better understanding.

    Step 1: Get the plugin form the App Market

    step 2: Create an interface with file upload component and make sure you do not accept any other values than csv and xlsx format to avoid any errors. 

    step 3: Write an expression rule using the function readexcelsheet() and you will need to configure the parameters such as excelDocument, sheetNumber, startRow, numberOfColumns. call this function in a local variable and use the .result notation. ex: readexcelsheet().result 

    Step 4: once you configure the above function you will have to determine how and what columns to be read. Create a cdt to store this data. 

    you will have to index the data into your new cdt using the local variable which contains your data by writing a loop which will run the save casting. by doing this you can get all the data from your excel to cdt.

    step 5: Create a process model which will write the read excel data stored in your cdt to your db.

    I hope the steps will be of help.

    I have a pre built PoC on this so as to make sure the data in the .csv file is captured and displayed in a grid.

    As told by Chaitanya, casting and indexing is needed to properly save the data in the DB.

    Also, I suggest to properly carry the requirements so that the CDT can be created in such a way that it can be reused.
