In the Add data dialog box, I am not able to navigate to any files from my computer, and in the "show of type" drop down menu, it seems to only allow "Datatsets, Layers and Results." Any ideas? I'm really new on this so maybe it's something obvious, but can't figure it out.</P><P>Thanks!</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Nov 2016 19:40:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/unable-to-add-excel-data-in-arcmap-10-3/m-p/336413#M1109 DanielZura 2016-11-15T19:40:56Z Re: unable to add excel data in ArcMap 10.3 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/unable-to-add-excel-data-in-arcmap-10-3/m-p/336414#M1110 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>have you tried&nbsp;<A class="link-titled" href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/conversion-toolbox/excel-to-table.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/conversion-toolbox/excel-to-table.htm">Excel To Table—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A>&nbsp;in the interim? &nbsp;Does it work?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Nov 2016 19:43:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/unable-to-add-excel-data-in-arcmap-10-3/m-p/336414#M1110 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-11-15T19:43:19Z Re: unable to add excel data in ArcMap 10.3 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/unable-to-add-excel-data-in-arcmap-10-3/m-p/336415#M1111 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the tip.
