where XXX, YYY will be in 2 individual cells that will hold the values for
one fact, and the "one,two,three" will be in a third cell will from which I
need to create separate instances for each value of fact #2.

I'm trying to see if there's a way to use the current spreadsheet without
changing it drastically. That will make the solution a lot more acceptable.


Looks like reading the cells and generating Java code to insert the facts
is the cheapest solution. I see no point in constructing rules just to get
some facts into WM.

 
W - Can you please elaborate on your last statement :

It's doable from a spreadsheet, using the "forall" substitution.

If I'm not mistake that's what I would use if it's a decision table - Would
I be able to use 'forall' even if I'm using a template to insert the facts ?

Yes, I was referring to decision tables. No, that "forall" is done by the DT parser/expander.
