Trying to import an Excel file into Airtable with selections in Excel field.  Is this supported by Airtable's import function?

No, Airtable doesn't import Excel field selections as dropdowns or multi-selects. It only imports the selected values as text. You’ll need to set up those fields manually in Airtable after importing.

Thank you for confirming.  For the time being, I will import the unique selections as separate rows then clear data (the selections remain).
