We have a function that returns the Keywords for a data source. In the case of Excel, it gets the list from the driver itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excel Tables and ArcGIS Tables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an overview of the relationship between Excel tables and ArcGIS tables:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A column in an Excel table is a field in ArcGIS. All rows in a table have the same columns. In a spatial table, columns store categories of information about the features, such as names, ID numbers, and area or length.<\/li>\n<li>A row in an Excel table is a record in ArcGIS. In a spatial table, each row represents one feature.<\/li>\n<li>A cell in an Excel table is a value in ArcGIS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are a few things to note about using Excel tables in ArcGIS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ArcGIS supports both Excel 2003 and earlier .xls files and Excel 2007 .xlsx files. One advantage of Excel 2007 is that it allows much larger worksheets (1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns) than you can have in Excel 2003 (65,536 rows by 256 columns.)<\/li>\n<li>If you have an .xlsx file you want to use in ArcGIS but do not have Excel 2007 installed, you will need to install the 2007 Office System Driver. It can be downloaded from the <a href=\"http:\/\/links.esri.com\/office_07_sysdriver\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft Download Center<\/a><\/a>. If you have Microsoft Excel 2010 or no version of Microsoft Excel installed, you must install the 2007 driver before you can use either .xls or .xlsx files.<\/li>\n<li>Excel tables are read-only in ArcGIS as well as in Excel when you have a workbook open in ArcGIS.<\/li>\n<li>Excel workbook and worksheet names should not contain spaces.<\/li>\n<li>Field names are derived from the first row in each column of the worksheet.<\/li>\n<li>You can view the properties of fields, set aliases for the field names, and set field visibility on the Fields tab of the table&#8217;s Properties dialog box.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>To learn more:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Online Help: Understanding how to use Microsoft Excel files in ArcGIS<br \/>\n<a title=\"Understanding how to use Microsoft Excel files in ArcGIS\" href=\"http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/manage-data\/tables\/understanding-how-to-use-microsoft-excel-files-in-arcgis.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/manage-data\/tables\/understanding-how-to-use-microsoft-excel-files-in-arcgis.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Online Help: Formatting a table in Microsoft Excel for use in ArcGIS<br \/>\n<a title=\"Formatting a table in Microsoft Excel for use in ArcGIS\" href=\"http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/manage-data\/tables\/formatting-a-table-in-microsoft-excel-for-use-in-arcgis.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/manage-data\/tables\/formatting-a-table-in-microsoft-excel-for-use-in-arcgis.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Online Help: Excel to Table Tool<br \/>\n<a title=\"Excel to Table tool\" href=\"http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/tools\/conversion-toolbox\/excel-to-table.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/tools\/conversion-toolbox\/excel-to-table.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Defining fields in tables<br \/>\n<a title=\"Defining fields in tables\" href=\"http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/manage-data\/tables\/design-defining-fields-in-tables.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/desktop.arcgis.com\/en\/desktop\/latest\/manage-data\/tables\/design-defining-fields-in-tables.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<li>What are the reserved words for Esri\u2019s file geodatabase? <a href=\"http:\/\/support.esri.com\/en\/knowledgebase\/techarticles\/detail\/37763\">http:\/\/support.esri.com\/en\/knowledgebase\/techarticles\/detail\/37763<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Thanks to Veronica Rojas for helping me to test the various issues.
