This worked for me, thank you @diego.cardenas and team!
Exported a Flat 2D Table from Excel into a Tab Delimited and using Code Interpreter I am getting the results I am looking for, matching incoming descriptions to nodes in my data based on the terms I have for them.
It is doing some pretty advanced reasoning right out of the gate, although it is very, very slow.
No worries, now that I have a basic version working I can start to break and iterate
This was a lot of trial and error, I see so many people out here trying to do something similar, looking up values tabular data, hopefully devs address this need.
