Spreadsheet Import (Dataset)

The
Spreadsheet Import (Dataset)
lets you transfer your data (numbers) from a spreadsheet to a Dataset. There are two formats available to import dataset information:  Tax Provision Format and Rolling Pin Format.
note
When you have a large amount of data to enter, update the import template and then import the information. To create an import template, you can select
Export
and the Export Datasets dialog box opens in which you can make selections to create the file.
