Thank you,

let me try to explain what we are planning to do and why our first thought was using an excel sheet. We are doing research on sheet metal forming and my tutor is doing some simulation and using rapidminer to create rules explaining the forming. These rules are formulas expressing the natural strain. He wants to store these rules in a multidimensional database (many sheets in an excel workbook). One sheet stands for one geometrical object. I know it is not the best idea but we do not know what would be the best way of storing our rules. It is important that the rules are not stored directly into jess code, because my tutor wants to autogenerate his new rules without working with jess.

Thank you again
Florian

Jess rules are textual, like program code. Typically what you're going to store 
in a spreadsheet is a decision table, which some simple rule engines will 
execute directly. That isn't what Jess does. You could write a Jess program to 
*implement* a decision table runner, or you could try to store Jess rules as 
text in spreadsheet cells (although I have no idea why anyone would ever want 
to do that!)

Subject: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Hi Folks,

first of all I want to introduce myself.
My name is Florian. I am from Germany. I am 22 years old and I am
writing my bachelor thesis about expert systems.
My tutor wants me to store my rule database in excel because
he wants to
automatically generate it using a data mining software.
My question right now is: Is it possible? And if yes, how?
I read "Jess in action" but there was only an explanation for
storing in
xml files.

Thank you.
Florian
