Hi guys am here in big soup,

The requirement goes this way: Report in WEBI> scheduled export (not manually) in a particular format from where Dashboard in Xcelsius can be made and the Dashboard is exported to Infoview for the enduser. I want the end user to refresh the dashboard for updated data with a single click on the "Refresh" button (in the dashboard). Moreover I want data from multiple reports to display in a dashboard. Thus i want multiple WEBI reports in a single Excel model. Xcelsius will read from this single Excel model giving a single dashboard. I dont want the end user to mess with the Importing and exporting stuff everytime. Is this automated stuff possible using Xcelsius 2008 as it can be conected directly with BO Platform. If anyone can brief me on this functionality will be very helpful. Is there any need of QAAWS feature? Please suggestA detailed sugggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks Krish

as i could understand from ur inquiry that you want live data xcelsisu dashboard, and thats too easy to be done,

if you want it based on universe on the BO platform itself, use QAAS

and if you want it based on reports already generated on on the BO platform, you can use Live Office Connector,

and the most most easy way to use the xml based data, using XML data button.

get some books from this link, and read it , it will not take time from you to understand how you can do it technically
