I want to make a standard dashboard for employees to upload an excel file which would then populate the dashboard with the metrics they need to see. Is this possible and if so how?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @akinlaw1
As for the ability to upload a file independently from service, the answer is no.
However, there are a couple of ways to provide flexibility for users:
1. Allow them to upload the file to a folder, and that folder will serve as the data source.
2. Create a basic Excel file for them, save it on SharePoint, and provide them with a link from the dashboard directly to the Excel file for updating.
