- Right-click the root Project tree node.
- Choose Add Data Source from the shortcut menu.
- (Optional) Change the data source label in the Name field of the Data Source panel.
- Choose Excel Spreadsheet from the Type box.
- (Optional) Use the Rows controls to indicate the range of rows you want to use and whether the rows can be used concurrently.
- If you only want to use selected rows, click the Range button, then enter the desired range (assuming a one-based index) by typing values into the From and To fields. For example, to use only the first 10 rows, enter 1 in the From field and 10 in the To field. To use only the fifth row, enter 5 in the From field and 5 in the To field.
- If the values in each data source should only be used by one virtual user at a time, clear the Rows Can Be Used Concurrently check box. Disabling this option is particularly useful if you want SOAPtest to assign login username/password pairs from this data source, but your site prohibits multiple simultaneous logins from each user.
- If you only want to use selected rows, click the Range button, then enter the desired range (assuming a one-based index) by typing values into the From and To fields. For example, to use only the first 10 rows, enter 1 in the From field and 10 in the To field. To use only the fifth row, enter 5 in the From field and 5 in the To field.
- Click the Location field's Browse button and use the file chooser that opens to specify the location of the Excel file. If you want the path saved as a relative path (for example, to facilitate project sharing), check the Persist as Relative Path option.
- Select the sheet of the specified Excel file you would like to use from the Sheet menu.
