How can I edit attributes in an Excel file?

The column heading for each attribute in your Excel file is written in the following format:

<Top Name>:<Attribute>:<Borehole Number>

For example: B_46:Elevation:0

In order to see this new attribute on your map, you can import from Excel and then post that information to your map.
