Return DOB for specified customer from Excel workbook (similar to Excel VLOOKUP)

Hello, 

 

I'm running SOAP requests using customer information from a test customer database. 

Each customer's DOB changes on a daily basis so that they remain the exact same age down to the day - I have an Excel file with the test customer names and DOB (as calculated to reflect the age in the test customer database).

 

Is there a way I can use the Excel file as a data source, and have ReadyAPI look up the test customer forename and surname I use in the request in order to return the correct DOB as calculated that day? Similar to a VLOOKUP in Excel?

 

If not, do you have any suggestions as to other ways I may be able to tackle this issue?

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you both so much for taking the time to respond to this thread, and thanks Chris for the resolution! 

A few things have come up at work today meaning I can't implement this right now, but I'll hopefully have time to try it out tomorrow or Monday 😊
