Importing Data from excel file to KoboToolbox database

[drgajendra]

I have a form of having 300 data entries as of now. I have similar data (exactly the same) in an excel file with 200 entries. Is it possible to upload that excel file data into the KoboTool box database form the backend so next time when I open the form, it shows 500 entries.
Its something like making a from excel. We upload the excel file and the form is ready.

Welcome to the community, @drgajendra! KoboToolbox, at the moment, does not have a system for uploading XLS data to the KoboToolbox directly. Still, you could do it using a python script as outlined in the post discussed previously:

Importing xls data into KoBoToolbox

@sareep, a while back have created a method for converting XLS data into XML with a Python script so that they can be submitted via the API. This requires an existing deployed form to be in your account. Everything is documented in this repository: https://github.com/kobotoolbox/xls-import. I hope this works for you.
