Bulk Dimension Import
Import Business Central dimensions and dimension values in bulk.
Bulk-import dimension records and dimension values into Business Central from a spreadsheet — skipping the slow, one-at-a-time entry that standard BC requires when setting up or reorganizing a chart of dimensions.
The challenge
Setting up or reorganizing Business Central dimensions — departments, projects, cost centers, and dimension values underneath them — is painfully slow through the standard UI. Entering dozens or hundreds of dimension values one at a time eats an afternoon every time the chart of dimensions changes.
How Bulk Dimension Import solves it
Blue Dragonfly Bulk Dimension Import lets you import dimensions and dimension values into Business Central from a spreadsheet in one action. Stand up a new dimension structure in minutes, roll out changes to existing dimensions at scale, and stop typing them in one by one.
Key benefits
Set up faster
New BC implementations or reorganizations land their dimension structure in minutes, not hours.
Controlled and previewable
Review the import before it runs so you know exactly what will land in the chart of dimensions.
Native Business Central
Runs as a BC extension — imported dimensions and values look and behave exactly like any other dimension record.
What it does

Import dimension values from a spreadsheet in a single action instead of entering each value manually.

Frequently asked questions
What file format does the import expect?
Standard spreadsheet format. Contact us for the current import template and a short walkthrough if you'd like to see it in action before installing.
Does it work with existing dimensions, or only new ones?
Both. Use it to stand up a brand-new dimension set, or to add values to dimensions that already exist in your chart.
Will imported dimensions and values behave like standard BC records?
Yes. Imported records are ordinary Business Central dimension records — posting, reporting, and analysis work exactly as they do with values you entered manually.

Standing up a new dimension structure in Business Central — or reorganizing one you already have — usually means entering dozens or hundreds of dimension values through the UI, one at a time. It’s slow, and it’s the kind of work that pushes implementations off schedule.
Blue Dragonfly Bulk Dimension Import turns that into a single action against a spreadsheet, so the chart of dimensions lands in minutes and the real work of a BC rollout can move forward.
