New to dynamo, getting the hang of it. I have an excel file with 3 columns, X,Y,Z brought into Dynamo I get a list 0,1,3 of x,y,x respectively. How do I take the first x and pair it with the first y and first z to create a point? Then, continue until the list is exhausted and I am left with many points in space created from the list of xyz?

I am open to suggestions on method, basically I have an excel sheet with 3 columns of X, Y and Z. I want those columns to translate into points within my model.

&nbsp;

Thanks

This should do what you need.
