Best Practices for Updating Imported Data with New Data

Consider the following best practices for updating imported data in MicroStrategy Workstation with new data.

When you replace imported data with new data, consider maintaining the same data structure as the original data. Ensure that the names of columns have not changed from the names in the original dataset, so that columns in the new dataset can be accurately matched to attributes and metrics in the original dataset. If columns are missing in the new data, these columns no longer appear in the updated dataset, and are not be available for display in dashboards.

As long as the data structure remains the same, MicroStrategy Workstation automatically resaves the new data.
