    Hi!

    What do you mean by migrate?
    There's a Read Excel operator. You can use it by setting up the import with the wizard or with the default settings. It's then a good idea to put the data into your repository using the Store operator.

    If you have a large number of Excel (or other) files to process, take a look at the Loop Files operator. It helps with doing these things automatically.

    Here's the official RapidMiner training video:

    You are probably also going to have to worry about joining the data together if it is related data spread out across multiple files, so take a look at the Join operator and the Append operator.  Joins can be tricky unless there is a clear and simple id field that is the same and present in all your input files.
