Alisun Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Hello, Attached is a screenshot of the Excel spreadsheet that I need to import into FileMaker. The full spreadsheet is 200 columns, 400 rows. Each row represents one patient. Each row (patient) needs their own record in Filemaker Pro. Any Suggestions??? Thanks!

Ender Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 If you import it into FileMaker, each row becomes one record. So if each row in your spreadsheet is a different patient, it's clear you will be creating a Patient table. You can either manually create all the fields in a FileMaker file and import the spreadsheet data, or open the spreadsheet with FileMaker to have FileMaker create the fields for you.
Alisun Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Ender, Yes, you are right, I would like each row to be a record. However, I have tried numerous times to import, but the file keeps opening in Filemaker as an Excel spreadsheet... Since I am new, I am struggling with this...Please will you list the steps to make each Excel row it's own Filemaker record? Thank you in advance!! Alisun
Ender Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Make sure the Excel file is named correctly (ending with .xls,) then open FileMaker Pro and try 'File->Open...' and select the Excel file (you may have to select the option to 'Show: All Available' in the open dialog.)
