How to Input Data from MS Excel Into a Mind Map

ConceptDraw MINDMAP supports inputting external data from many different file formats. If you keep your data in Microsoft Excel, you can import it into ConceptDraw MINDMAP, converting the rows and columns into a hierarchically structured mind map. If you have multiple individual sheets within your Excel workbook, ConceptDraw MINDMAP will convert it into a single multi-page mind map. If you need to input just the selected cells, the best way to do this is to copy-and-paste.

If you need to import your MS Excel file to ConceptDraw MINDMAP, follow these steps.

  1. Prepare the source file. Consider that the first column in the file will be transformed into the Main Idea, the second - to Main Topics, the third - to subtopics, etc.
