Hi,
today I have a very simple question (I believe)
I'm trying to import an Entity (for test purposes only one, but I assume I can have more ...) from a Excel spreadsheet into PowerDesigner LDM Model.
If the powerDesigner help I can find a recomendation to put all the Table/Entity attributes as a colleciton separated by an "," ... or whatever.
What in case I have such structure:
This is by far more user friendly, that putting everything as a list separated by "," ... And this is also how PD extracts the attributes into Excel.
Is there a way how this can be done? It took me already like an hour by try to set up the Excel import in a way this structure could be imported ... but without success.
Any ideas how to do that?
I'm using the standard File -> Import -> Excel File ... funcitonality.
Or maybe like this ... as described in the help.
I'm defining an Excel containint 2 sheets ... the firs one to represent the Entities and the second one to represent the Entity Attributes:
But when importing, it imports only the data frm the fistr sheet ... I know, the sheet name should refere to the class I"m trying to import to ...
I was already trying to change the name to Entity.Entity Attribute because this is what I can find in PD:
I have even tryed to define the import mapping by my own ...
But doing it like that it say's "The import of a sub-object requires a column"
No matter what I do ... it's still not working ... so the question: what am I doing wrong?
We are running 16.5 SP02 PL04
