AI Thread Summary
To make imported data from large Excel files permanent in Mathematica, users can utilize the DumpSave function, which allows saving the data for future use without needing to re-import it each time. If issues arise when transferring the saved data between different computers, it may be more effective to use the Save function instead of DumpSave. This approach helps avoid the hassle of carrying Excel files and re-establishing directories when switching between work and home environments.

I'm an occassional Mathematica user (Ver 7.0.1.0).

I'm doing something now where I need to import a couple of large Excel files, no problem with that. I'm wondering, however, if there is a procedure to make the resulting lists created by the imported data permanent so that I don't have to re-import everytime I execute the file. Mainly, I'm trying to avoid having to carrying around those Excel files and re-doing the directory etc. in the program to import the data when I move from running it on one computer to another at work and home.

Thanks in advance,

Frank

I have used DumpSave for that purpose before. If you have trouble reading the DumpSave from one computer into another computer then you may need to use Save instead of DumpSave.
