&lt;p&gt;you can import the spread sheet to a sharepoint list and create the columns view, and from infopath form you can create a data connection to the sharepoint list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then create a dropdown field control in infopath form, go to properties and lookup values from data connection, it will auto populate those 100 values in drop down list.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Embed Excel Table for Drop Down List Options</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/75063.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:54:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:75063</guid><dc:creator>Ken Branham</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/75063.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=75063</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m brand new to InfoPath and trying to create a form and need a little assistance.&amp;nbsp; I have&amp;nbsp;a drop down list of about 100 different options that could periodically change.&amp;nbsp; I currently have this list stored in an Excel spread sheet.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way I can embed the spread sheet into the form rather than having to key each one of the options into the drop down menu?&amp;nbsp; Thank you for any assistance provided.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
