Your data must be in one of the following file types:

  • .xlsx
  • .xls
  • .txt
  • .csv
  • .tsv
  • .prn
  • .json

Password-protected or compressed files (such as .zip files) cannot be used to upload data.

If you are importing sas7bat files, the amount of memory available for the reader is controlled by the JVM Heap Size setting on the corresponding Intelligence Server or MicroStrategy Workstationmachine.
