Defining Ranges

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 definition.
To define a range:
  1. Open the Microsoft Excel file.
  2. Highlight the column or group of columns of data to import.
  3. Click Insert > Name > Define.
  4. Enter a name for the selected range and click OK.
  5. If you have multiple sheets, select each sheet and repeat steps 2 to 4 to define ranges for each set of data.
  6. Click File > Save.
