Import from Excel for Faster Data Entry

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.
