    Hello,

    The tools available in soapUI PRO for dealing with Excel files are the DataSource and DataSink TestSteps, which allow for reading from and writing to Excel files, in a loop based fashion. If these do not meet your needs, you can use Groovy to extend the functionality of soapUI by integrating a third party library which handles excel files, such as JExcel for example. For support on using a third party library, you will have to consult the documentation for that particular library. Good luck!
