Design Studio 1.3 SP1 - November 18, 2014
Just beginning to use Design Studio in our organization and have been unable to determine how to use a flat file (example: CSV, TXT, or Excel file) as a Data Source for the Dashboard content. I have read this may be accomplished via BEx or a Universe; however, I wanted to ask the community if there was any simpler means (we do not use Universes and have limited developers whom create BEx queries) to import data from a flat file for use with Design Studio. We do use Analysis for OLAP (BOBJ 4.1) which is a likely source for some of our flat file content. We have been successful using data directly from BW; however, one of our business units do not use BW directly.
Thank you,
Matt
