By the end of this chapter you will be able to:

  • Collect data from a spreadsheet

A file containing a mapping of Counties to Regions can be found in the input files, at:
…\inputData\AddressCheck\regionsByCounty\regionsByCounty.xlsx
You will use this data to find the Region for each of the customer addresses that you have already loaded. Notice that there is a header line in this file with the column names of the data.
Add a new file collector to read this file into the new model you created in exercise 1:

  1. Drag  File Collector onto the model.
  2. In the new file collector form that pops up, enter the Name: Regions by County.
  3. Press  OK.
  4. You will now see the new file collector in the model.
  5. Save the model.

Set up File Collector and table

  1. Hover over your new File Collector, and press  Upload File
  2. In the file explorer, go to: …\inputData\AddressCheck\regionsByCounty
  3. Select the file regionsByCounty.xlsx and press Open.
  4. In the Upload Managed File form, press Upload.

You will see a table appear on your model – PhixFlow has automatically configured the file collector and the table to load the file into PhixFlow.
