Import Data

You can import data directly into a new or existing dataset, for use in creating dashboards. A dataset contains the data you display on a dashboard. In addition, you can select multiple tables to create a single, multi-table dataset. MicroStrategy Workstation also allows you to combine different types of data sources in a single dataset. This includes combining data from an Excel spreadsheet and relational database table into a single dataset. See Manage Datasets for more information about managing data in your dashboard.
