# MPE_EXCEL_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
The `MPE_EXCEL_CONFIG` table configures column-level rules that are applied when uploading data via Excel. See the [Excel](/excel/) guide for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Columns
|
|
|
|
- `TX_FROM num`: SCD2 open datetime
|
|
- 🔑 `XL_LIBREF char(8)`: SAS Libref of the target table
|
|
- 🔑 `XL_TABLE char(32)`: Target table name
|
|
- 🔑 `XL_COLUMN char(32)`: Column to which the rule applies
|
|
- `XL_RULE char(32)`: The rule to apply. Currently the only supported rule is `FORMULA` - this extracts the underlying cell _formula_ (eg `=VLOOKUP(...)`) rather than the raw cell value during an Excel upload. The target column must be character, and wide enough to hold the longest formula.
|
|
- `XL_ACTIVE num`: Flag indicating whether the rule is active (1 = active)
|
|
- `TX_TO num`: SCD2 close datetime
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
The following entry (from the Data Controller sample data) causes the `DD_LONGDESC` column of `MPE_DATADICTIONARY` to be loaded as a formula rather than a raw value when uploading via Excel:
|
|
|
|
```sas
|
|
insert into &lib..MPE_EXCEL_CONFIG set
|
|
tx_from=0
|
|
,xl_libref="&lib"
|
|
,xl_table="MPE_DATADICTIONARY"
|
|
,xl_column="DD_LONGDESC"
|
|
,xl_rule="FORMULA"
|
|
,xl_active=1
|
|
,tx_to='31DEC5999:23:59:59'dt;
|
|
```
