Discover how to quickly transform spreadsheet data without writing a line of code. You'll see how you can use FME to create an automated process for: moving data in and out of Microsoft Excel, integrating spreadsheets with spatial data, and performing data validation. Plus learn about the new functionality in FME's Excel reader and writer – which were both re-imagined and re-built in June 2013. Visit http://www.safe.com/webinars for a recording of this webinar.
