To enter many demos in HiPoint using Excel
Running the monthly task DEMOs Needed in DataTools may bring up a list of four or more CDs or other samples that will need to have a corresponding DEMO item listing in HiPoint. When this happens, it’s easier to import these HiPoint demos using Excel.
- Get template from G:\DATA DEPARTMENT\HIPOINT_IMPORTS\Drafts\DYD Import TEMPLATE
- Save as new title in the draft folder
- Copy and paste query results into the template
- Insert a new column next to the item column (ISBN column, which we’ll call A2)
- Type in the new column: A2&”DEMO”. This adds the word DEMO directly after the ISBN
- Delete the original item column (A2)
