FIMIX-PLS → PLS-POS
Choose candidate segments and review segmentation results
Compare FIMIX-PLS solutions before running PLS-POS, then review group sizes, stability and POS results already estimated in SmartPLS.
Files stay on your device. This tool does not rerun FIMIX/POS or send data to a server or AI service.
Start with your result reports
Open Excel .xlsx reports or a summary CSV. You can select several FIMIX solutions together. Check the imported tables before using the assessment.
In the file picker, hold Ctrl to select individual files or Shift to select a range (macOS: hold Cmd). You can also add files in later selections; previously imported solutions are kept.
Enter a FIMIX summary as CSV
Keep the template headers. Group shares are percentages, separated by semicolons within one cell. Use a dot as the decimal separator.
The CSV replaces current FIMIX solutions; imported POS solutions are retained. Example data are replaced with your data.
