import Excel files into Mas90 ?

Need Help - I'm looking for a way to import Excel files into Mas90.
Mas90 help states that Mas90 has the capability, but does not explain
or give an example of how to do this. I understand that the columns in
the Exel file need to be organized in a specific way, but at this point
I'm just trying to get to the first step of importing the Exel data.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Howdy,

I'd suggest starting with an export. Then open that in Excel to create the
template file you need to import.

One of the stages will be to establish if Mas90 knows how to update existing
records from the import or only knows how to add the records.

Do the experimenting with a scratch copy and not your master copy.

P.S. A well designed "import" shouldn't care how the columns are arranged.
Only the column titles should need to match.
