Issue/Introduction
I would like to be able to import new data into my Rally Subscription. How can I accomplish this?
Resolution
Rally Summary Pages
You can import data using the import option within Rally web pages. You can import data from other products into Rally using a comma separated value (CSV) formatted file. From each summary page in Rally, you can choose an Import option from the Actions drop-down to launch an import wizard.
Excel Add-In
This also provides a quick and easy way to import data into Rally subscription using exported .CSV files. The Rally Excel Add-In allows you to import specific artifact types (portfolio items, user stories, defects, etc), supplied via an Excel spreadsheet, into Rally. The Import to Rally feature displays a list of importable artifact types available for your Rally workspace.?
You can find more information including pre-requisite information, installation instructions and step-by-step usage instructions here:

NOTE: Rally Excel Add-in cannot update the fields or statuses of existing work items.
Web services API
If you have the technical resources, you can create scripts using our Webservices API that can be used to import and update items in your Rally subscription. Our WSAPI supports most common languages such as C#, Ruby, Java, and several other platforms. The WSAPI documentation can be found below:?

Unfortunately custom coding is outside the scope of what we can provide as a support team though we do have online help documentation available through our wiki at http://developer.rallydev.com/help with information and examples to help get you started.?
