00:33
And you can import data from a spreadsheet
00:35
and link the table to the spreadsheet data
00:39
in the exercise file. A table has already been created.
00:43
It was created by extracting information from the doors in the floor plan,

select the table
00:51
when you do

When you select the square grip on the right,
01:08
