Hello Jesus,

the database appears to be an excel sheet. If so, then use the READEXCEL function.

Since I'm using Mathcad 15, I can't demonstrate it to you right now. But you can search for it in the help menu. It should be straight forward.

As Raiko have said, READEXCEL function works in mathCAD Prime as well. I use it for all of my steel sections.

An alternative is to import the data from excel, convert to prn format and save.  This works in Mathcad 15 and is more efficient than reading the excel each time.  I believe this is the same function in Prime 3.1.

Data := READPRN([filename.prn])
