Click the blue button New Template and in the New Code Template pop-up complete the info for Name, from the Type drop down menu select Excel.
Finally, browse to choose the original Excel file. Notice the new specified Code Template is listed at the bottom as most recently added, with three actions to either edit, delete or download.
