# Import by Config
When using advanced Excel files (e.g. without any heading columns), it can be complicated to import these.
->byConfig()
will help you handle this problem.
Inside excel::import.sheets
config you can find an example.
Excel::load('file.xls')->byConfig('excel::import.sheets', function($sheet) {
// The firstname getter will correspond with a cell coordinate set inside the config
$firstname = $sheet->firstname;
});
Note: if you are using multiple sheets.
->byConfig
will loop through all sheets. If these getters are only exist on one sheet, you can always use->selectSheets()
.
