Rules for uploading spreadsheets

The following rules apply when uploading parameter values from an Excel spreadsheet:

  • Parameter values are uploaded from a spreadsheet’s Sheet1 worksheet.

  • The Sheet1 worksheet should have a single header row and at least the same number of values as the parameter that is being populated.

  • Values uploaded from Excel replace the parameter’s previous values.
