Hi,

I am really new at this data mining ETL software so I hope you could bear with me,. I already downloaded the software and it really looks slick and i have a feeling like its possible to do anything with it, problem is I am really struggling at the moment learning at my own  :'(, and i know a good product deserves thorough dedication of learning if you desire to make it work..

I was wondering if Rapid-miner is capable of automatically referencing data on different excel files(3 diff files)... for example an excel file with a data table to be used for a simple mathematical operation on a different excel spreadsheet,. its like a vlookup thing in excel, though i was thinking of automating this in rapid.. is rapid capable of doing this?

Thank you any reply would be really appreciated!
Regards,
amdc

    Why don't you use different Read Excel operators? I think it's easy.

    hey bro i appreciate the reply :)

    im just thinking that rapid has more functionality and with a lot of operators i believe it can do an automation of this process,. and possibly scheduled processing when certain data has been changed/uploaded

    maybe its possible maybe its not, i have no idea, the thing is i really have a lot of projects on my to do list and was hoping just to get a little insight on this software and that would really help me a lot
