Import from Excel for Faster Data Entry

Manually entering data into BRF+ decision tables can be time-consuming. To speed up your workflow, you can import data from an Excel file instead of filling in each field manually.

• Open the desired Decision Table in BRF+ and switch to Edit Mode.
• Click on “Additional Actions” in the toolbar, then select “Export to Excel” from the dropdown menu.

*   We **strongly recommend saving the original Excel export** before making any changes. Use this file as a **backup** in case you need to **restore the original table**.

• Edit the exported Excel file by adding your new entries. Make sure to:

  • Preserve the original format.
  • Do not modify the column headers — they must remain exactly as exported.
  • Follow syntax rules (e.g., conditional columns often begin with an “=” sign).

• To upload your Excel table to BRF+ come back to the decision table and select ‘Import from Excel’ and choose your file.

Tips

• You can also export decision tables from the Standard Application in BRF+ to get familiar with standard field IDs, formats, and configurations.
• Ensure data integrity by checking column headers and formats carefully before importing.
