The Excel based import is used when inventory already exists in a structured format, such as spreadsheets.

This approach allows you to bring multiple inventory items into equipme at once, without having to create each item manually. It is especially useful for the initial setup or when migrating larger inventories.

The focus here is on transferring existing data into equip me in a clean and structured way. No automation or system integration is required.

This option is often chosen as a first step before expanding inventory processes further.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hub.equipme.io/classes/portal-quick-setup/inventory-recording/per-excel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
