If you can get your data into a comma- or tab-delimited text format, then P&V has easy-to-use import tools. Microsoft Excel will save worksheets in this format. Since Excel will also open some other database files (dbf, fixed width text, etc.) it can function as a versatile conversion tool. This can be helpful for starting up your P&V database from your existing data, while avoiding a lot of manual data entry.
