Lookup Table

Loads a custom data row from a table defined by an Excel spreadsheet, then stores the values in a dynamic data variable. You can select the Excel spreadsheet from which the data row will be pulled by double-clicking the action and following the wizard, or right-clicking the action, clicking Select New Workbook, and following the wizard. If a change was made to the referenced spreadsheet, you can refresh the data row by opening the Properties dialog (right-click the action) and clicking Refresh Workbook; you must use the refresh functionality in the action, as any changes to the spreadsheet will not auto-update.
