About creating a database from a spreadsheet
Data model information is commonly provided in an Excel spreadsheet format for MGCP. This is usually not a format accepted in ArcCatalog for data models; they are accepted as Access databases or XML files.
The PLTS Geodatabase Builder allows you to create a personal geodatabase from an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet used with the tool should contain all the required information regarding feature classes, feature datasets, and domains.
Learn more about the Excel files used to create geodatabases.
