Import Data from Excel or Text into the Aquifer Table

Borehole Manager | File | Import | Text | Single Table | Aquifer Data

These Borehole Manager programs are used to read row and column data from a single worksheet in Excel file or from a single text (CSV, tab-delimited) file, and import the rows and columns into the Aquifer table for a single borehole. This is primarily designed for users who have elevation or depth measurements for multiple units, which can't be easily brought into the RockWorks database using the Row Based Excel import. This import works with XLSX, XLS, CSV, and TXT files, provided that Microsoft Excel is installed on the user's machine.

Here is an example of the kind of data that can be brought into RockWorks using this program; this subset lists the borehole ID in the first column, and Aquifer names and depths in the subsequent columns.


! This program allows you to either append new data from Excel to existing aquifer data in RockWorks, or to replace all existing data.
