dear claire,

you can divide your data into test and train using excel, and to import the data you need to specify the row and column for each of the data.

other option is you can use the workspace, right click and choose new. Then rename into traininput, testinput, traintarget.

From training data: copy your input data listed in your (eg:excel) then paste into trainiinput, then copy the output paste into traintarget.

From testing data : only copy the input and paste into testinput.

once you obtain the testoutput result, you can compare it with the actual ouput.
