Header Definitions (Excel)
Type the header text from the Excel file into the corresponding
header definition field. For example, if you use PartNo as the header for the part number column in the Excel file,
then enter PartNo in Part number.
You can enter multiple Excel headers, separated by semicolons (no
spaces), in a header definition field. For example, if you sometimes import an Excel
file with a header PartNo, and at other times
an Excel file with a header PN, then type
PartNo;PN in Part number. The next time you import an Excel file, both entries
appear and are recognized by the software.
