Hi

Try like this

LOAD "# of Recordable Medical Treatment (no lost workday)   [A1]" as [KPI 1],

     "# of Restricted Work Activity Cases (no lost workday)  [B1]" as [KPI 2]

As the error message says, you have not included a FROM statement:

LOAD [# of Recordable Medical Treatment (no lost workday)   [A1]]] as [KPI 1],

     [# of Restricted Work Activity Cases (no lost workday)  [B1]]] as [KPI 2]

FROM myExcelWOrksheet.xlsx (ooxml, ....)


I assume that [# of Recordable Medical Treatment (no lost workday)   [A1]]] is a column in your spreadsheet.

Hi Lavi,

Two points:

1. In your field names, one  ']' is extra after A1 and B1, it should be:

     LOAD

     [# of Recordable Medical Treatment (no lost workday)   [A1]] as [KPI 1],

     [# of Restricted Work Activity Cases (no lost workday)  [B1]] as [KPI 2]

2. "From" is missing in your statement, after

LOAD

----

----

From (Name of the excel file from where you are pulling the data)

Hope this helps!
