Creates a geodatabase from the contents of a Microsoft Excel file (.xls or .xlsx).
This tool can only be run with a properly formatted Excel file.
The schema specific Excel files are included with the ArcGIS Defense Mapping and ArcGIS Production Mapping Desktop product data files.
The Excel file that is used to generate a geodatabase consists of multiple worksheets based on the components of the geodatabase. The individual worksheets in the file contain the spatial reference, datasets, object classes, subtypes, fields, domains, and metadata to be included in the database.
The Excel worksheets have a specific format and items such as the column names cannot be changed. Only the information in the worksheets can be changed.
