The [Data Importer](https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/219833) allows you to import data from an Excel or comma-separated value (CSV) file. You can choose which sheet and columns to import, preview the data, and create a non-persistable entity (NPE) in your domain model that corresponds to your input. Then, you can import data into your app using the [Import Data from File](/refguide/import-data-from-file/) activity.
