I would like to connect FlexSim to a external data source but I have some doubts about that.
I want to feed my model with data from an Excel spreadsheet, and I don´t know if this sheet can be stored in an online folder or it is necessary to store it locally.
I would also like to know if there is any connectivity limitation in the express FlexSim version compared to the full version.
Thanks for thoughting on how to do this.

Hi Gabriel,
you can import the content of an Excel sheet into FlexSim as long as it's content is available from your computer (you can open it with Excel).
Have you tried importing your file?
So if the Excel sheet is stored for example in OneDrive, it´s possible to import it?
Correct. You'll need Excel installed in the computer and access to the file, but, if you can open it with Excel you can import it into FlexSim
By the way, FlexSim Express does have access to use Excel:
