Hi, I want try to fill lower thirds with names and flags for a Triathlon event.

I've got an excel file with athletes name, number and nationality.

Are there any way to do that?

Thanks

Yes there is

Its one of the basic (a lower third is a title) things titles and datasources are used for

check the multiple (video)tutorials about vMix titles, datasources and alike

...and additionally, you can use file paths in your excel file for the flags:

Even simpler

if your data holds just a country code like "ITA" you can refer to a local folder holding national flags with such name
and refer to it with :

d:/Myflags/{0}.jpg in the datasource settings for d:/Myflags/ITA.jpg
