("MATERIAL")
(vmat :range (
(0.264 :label "100 CAST IRON") ;; Engr Std
and would like the list values imported from another document. Is it possible? where do i start?

best might be to
a) export your XLS to csv format
b) read csv into a logical/display table of OSDM
c) on select of row in display table you feed the values via sd-put-buffer into the dialog

the display table is used as an (show-)input-tool in this case.

for reading the csv into your LTAB there's no function available.
