Historical data provides valuable insights to soil health patterns and trends that can guide decision-making processes and on farm activities.

1\. Navigate to the results tab on the selected project ![8](https://community.gxlab.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8.png?width=294&height=39&name=8.png)

2\. Select the 'Upload' button and 'Import With Wizard'

Select the 'Download Template' button

Save the CSV 

5\. On GXLab 'Browse for file' and import.

6\. Step through the Headings, and select the green arrow to proceed

To view the data across the farm you can select the Result tab (Step 1) 

 

If you require further analysis of the data post modelling or in table format return to the GXLab Dashboard and select 'Analytics'.
