Hello!

For a questionnaire, I need to have an External dictionary with certain information of different people stored in. For example, I want the external dictionary to have this random information:

Name: Steven
Phone: 12345678
Color: Blue
ID: 987654321

Name: Alex
Phone: 12345678
Color: Red
ID: 987156782

How do I save this information manually in the external dictionary (should Name, Phone, Colo, ID be Records? or Items in the Id Items?) and what functions should I use in the Logic to extract this information? (if, for example, I needed to have the name Steve or the phone stored in a variable for ease of reading purposes.)

I've been trying but I still don't understand how the Locate, Find, Retreive functions work.

Thanks.

1) Put your data in an Excel file.
2) Use Excel2CSPro to create a CSPro dictionary and data file from your Excel spreadsheet
3) In your CSPro logic use the function loadcase() to look up the data.
