Will the Data Uploader also upload attachments

Holly Stokes

Hi,

My company is looking at getting the Data Uploader. As well as the data in the excel file, we'd like to have images and other attachments such as a PDF file, get uploaded, preferably into the attachments section. Is there a way of doing this?

My thought was that if you had an image in a cell in Excel, it may upload that image???

The answer is not really, but mostly because of the way Excel works and not a Data Uploader limitation. Excel does not provide a way to have images inside cells. Images are in the sheet and can be sized to move and resize with cells, but they are not actually inside the cells. Same for attachments - Excel does not support that functionality.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ramzi
