Dynamic Source

Hi @needhelp  

 

I have built a reporting model, the source for which is an monthly extarct in excel format, source formating is same in all monthly extracts. I use 2 of these extracts for my report, reporting month and comparison month (for comparision). I have placed them in 2 different sharepoint folders 'Reporting Month' and 'Comparision Month'

 

Now every month when I get the extract I replace the source files and refresh the report.

 

But I need something where user can choose the source files from inside the report.

 

All the source files will be placed in the sharepoint folder, and I need a simple interface where user can themselves change the 'Reporting Month' file and Comparision Month' file from a simple dropdown, the dropdown should reflect all the files it the sharepoint folder, can this be achived?.

 

Regards,

Faraz
