Applying a force field from a spreadsheet on a structure

Hi there!

I'm using the Advanced Simulation Module of NX 8. I would like to know how would you guys do to load an object with a list of force vectors, cointaining the (x,y,z) coordinates where the force is applied and the (Fx,Fy,Fz)components of each force vector. The format of the table that I have is the following.

I understand I could work it out using the spatial load distribution method and defining a magnitude field for the components. The thing is that I am not able to specify the field for the force components, since it the buttons to load the datasheet file is only avalable when I choose a domain of dependency from frecuency, temperature or time, and my loads are only spatial-dependent. So I guess this might not be the right method.
Thanks in advance and please let me know if I am not being clear enough with the description of my problem.

Cheers,
Grego
