Mathcad A-Z: E is for Excel

Did you know that there are many ways to import data from Excel to Mathcad? In Mathcad 15 and earlier versions, you can use the Excel Component or Data Import Wizard to import data.

The data can then be embedded in your worksheet, so that you can edit the data directly in Mathcad.
