# Copy data from Excel into a MiCW page

To copy data from an Excel spreadsheet into pages such as the Hot Desk Devices, Users and Services, or User Information pages:

1. Select the data (rows and columns) in your Excel spreadsheet. Your selection can include drop-down lists with information such as Device Types.

2. Right-click and select Copy.

3. Place the cursor in the top-left field and press the Esc keyboard key. The field is highlighted in blue.

4. Type Ctrl v (hold down the Ctrl keyboard key and press the v key) to paste the data.

NOTES

- You cannot paste into check box fields.

- Drop-down values must be matched exactly for a paste to work. For example, 'Hot Desk User' will not work when the list includes 'Hot Desking User'.

- You can't paste across some columns. In some cases, you must paste by column (for example, the email address on the User Information page).

- Specifically, you can paste data into the following pages:

- Hot Desk Devices

- User and Services

- ARS page: Digits Dialed and Digits to Follow columns

- Automatically Generate Users and Services: First and Last name columns

- User Information page: Last Name, First Name, and E-mail Address. You can't paste across the Prime Contact Number column

- Office Extensions: paste all fields, but you must use exact name for the Device Type

- Dynamic Extension - External Numbers (all fields)

- Teleworker Phone Users (all fields - must use colon for MAC)

- Unified Communicator Mobile Users (all fields)
