I need to find a way to get data from a WebIntelligence Report (essentially 3 numbers: Average This Year, Average Last Year and Target This Year (eg, 40, 63, 55)) into a dashboard, where the data is refreshed each day. The resulting dashboard will be published on my external web site where anyone can access it. It is essential that a connection to the webi server is not required, so I can publish the report data to a text file on a network drive and pick it up from there. The data will change daily so this must be reflected in the dashboard.
Webi has no capability of saving to XML, so it's excel, text, csv archive or PDF only.
I have been playing with the "From Text" option in the Data tab, but changes to the data do not show when the .swf file is run. When in dashboard mode, I can click on preview to show the dashboard and the data doesn't change, however when I exit preview, the data is updated in the spreadsheet of the dashboard. It is just never reflected when the dashboard is displayed. I have dicked the refresh ever 1 minute, refresh data when opening the file, overwrite existing cells options in the External Data Range Properties page for the From Text option and am looking at the data via both a Grid object and an Spreadsheet object.
Could anyone please suggest what I am doing wrong, or anything else I may be able to try instead.
Using BO4.1, sp1, p1.
Thanks
Rodney.
