Choosing Data Sources

Good Morning, 

For some reason I have lost my Gateway, I reinstalled a new gateway. The Gateway is working fine, however, I am trying to add the data source and it keeps failing. I have multiple excel sheets on my PC and OneDrive. What is the best Data Source to Used for multiple Excel Files on my PC and for One Drive?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @Bwidener,

 

Could you describe your scenario in more details?

 

Do you combine the multiple Excel Files on your PC and One Drive in one dataset?

 

Besides, could you post your error message when you add data source in Gateway?

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
