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).
