Import from Excel to Experiment parameters

Is it possible to import a table from Excel into an Experiment's parameter table?

I would like to manage all of my input data in Excel, and import that into the model to use it. However, I cannot figure out a way to define a set of scenarios in Excel, and then import that into my FlexSim model as an experiment's scenario definitions.

I tried adding an entry to the Excel Import interface then attempted to sample the experiment's scenario table, but I could only sample individual cells rather than the entire table. I've attached an image of this attempt.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.2.0

Hey @Jeremy R, there's not really a way to import an excel sheet into an Experimenter "Scenarios" table. However, you can copy and paste the values into the table easily.
