Re: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

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

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!)
