How can I create dataset from excel file to use for function fitting problem using neural network?

Input is 15 element vector(1000 such columns as input). Output is 3 element vector. When I saw the existing dataset like "house", it doesnt contain any heading to coulmns. I have the headings in my data. Should I remove it or not?

You can do it with or without.

If you don't you may come back sometime later and wonder what the names of the variables are.

If you do you have to make sure the program doesn't try to use the headings in the calculations.

You can search the NEWSGROUP and ANSWERS for examples using search words like

 excel neural
 excel fitnet

 etc
