Hi guys, I’m new to Thunkable. Is there a way to upload data from an excel file into Local DB instead of doing manual data entry option that is available?

Hi @GUNALAN_SUBRAMANIAM, welcome to the Thunkable community!

You should be able to copy and paste your data in directly, that should speed things up.
