How to Perform Calculations on Data Imported via Excel Importer in Mendix?

0
I’m working on a project which I have to import data from an Excel spreadsheet using the "Excel Importer" module. After importing, I need to perform calculations on this data before committing it to the database.     My specific questions are:   1. What’s the best approach to access and manipulate imported data before committing?   2. Is there a way to add calculation logic during the import process itself?   3. Should I create separate microflows to process the data post-import?   Details of my use case: - I’m importing into a non-persistent/temporary entity.   - I need to compute derived fields (e.g., totals, averages, percentages).   - Some calculations depend on values across multiple rows.     What I’ve tried so far: - Adding validation rules in the entity.   - Creating a post-import microflow but struggled to access all imported records at once.     Has anyone implemented something similar? Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated!

You will need to import the records via a microflow action and make sure the imported records are associated to 1 record to be able to access all records. See https://docs.mendix.com/appstore/modules/excel-importer/#reference-to-import-objects Then in a second step after the import action perform the calculations and as the last step in the MF copy the data to persistent entities and commit the data there.
