&lt;p&gt;I assume this is what you are asking? If so&amp;nbsp;You can use&amp;nbsp;readexcelsheetpaging excel tool plugin to read you excel file and extract values as needed. You need to write code to create tasks foreach record/row you have. You need to remove headers from parsed data or format template.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;= a!localVariables(
  local!parsedFileData: index(
    readexcelsheetpaging(
      ri!excelDocument,
      0,
      a!pagingInfo(1, cons!SRT_INT_FILE_IMPORT_ROW_MAX),
      3,
      null,
      true
    ),
    &amp;quot;data&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;values&amp;quot;,
    {}
  ),
  if(
    rule!APN_isBlank(local!parsedFileData),
    {},
    a!forEach(
      items: local!parsedFileData,
      expression: a!map(
        firstName: stripwith(fv!item[1], &amp;quot; &amp;quot;),
        lastName: stripwith(fv!item[2], &amp;quot; &amp;quot;),
        allocation: fv!item[3]
      )
    )
  )
)&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/pastedimage1734015235659v1.png" /&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/pastedimage1734015840037v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Process starting with an Excel upload</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/143611?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Dec 2024 07:58:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:06aaaf07-7433-4766-8d6d-f2c1b73405ae</guid><dc:creator>miguelm137538</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;By record I mean excel lines.&lt;br /&gt;The process would consist in a first step that is to upload an excel document with a header with 3 fields and under it 4 records with the header fields filled in.
