Chai,

Could you provide a bit more detail: how did you import the data? what entities did you import it into? how did you try to view the data you imported?

Thanks,

Mike

Of course! thanks Mike.

I used the excel importer. Followed this page –

https://docs.mendix.com/howto/integration/import-a-large-excel-file#1-introduction

I have the template in , I have a column of data in, the entities I used were the ones I tried to develop in (my first module). I am looking for the data I input in my editor but not sure if I am looking in the right place.

After you have imported the data it is in the database in the table of the Mendix Object that you assigned the Template to use. In this case “OpdrachtNogInTeVoeren”:

This screenshot is from editing the importtemplate. Do a retrieve of that entity and show it on a page and you will see the contant.
