You need to convert the Excel file to a form definition file (XML) using
the XLSForm converter. Either on the website or via the Windows executable
on the downloads page.
Then, create this directory structure:
..forms\MYFormName.xml
..forms\MYFormName-media\
where MYFormName is the name or formId of your form (after removing all
spaces and punctuation).
Place the CSV and other media files for the form (e.g., form logo) in the
MyFormName-media directory.
Then copy this forms directory onto your device as /sdcard/odk/forms
When you open ODK Collect, it should scan and detect the form, process the
CSV, etc.

I tried the Build model couldn't pass the pulldata function.
As I opened the form I saw 'preload...' but it didn't work as I expected.
This is what I did for the field(A) I expected preloaded data:
pulldata('test','comt','hhid_key',${hhid}), test is the csv file name,
hhid_key and comt are the two columns in csv file. hhid is the form field
where I typed in a hhid_key value from csv file data in order to see the
corresponding comt data populated in the field(A) .
Is above confusing or what did I do wrong?
Thanks,
Wen

Please ignore my previous post. It worked as I changed a data type.
Anyway, can anyone tell me the Build module is definitely not working for
the pulldata() function? The reason I ask is our staff are only trained to
use Build so far...

Build doesn't (and likely will never) support data preloading. Your
options are to take Build's output and manually edit the XML to make
it support pulldata or use XLSForm. Strongly recommend the latter.
