4 Importing a Workbook File

If the workbook file was exported with a password, Oracle Analytics prompts for that password when you import the file. The workbook file can include the data used in the workbook if the Include Data option was selected when the workbook was exported to DVA format.

You can import a workbook file exported from the same version (or earlier version) as your Oracle Analytics environment. For example, if you exported a workbook from an Oracle Analytics environment that includes the May 2025 update, then you can import it into other Oracle Analytics environments that include the May 2025 update or a later update such as July 2025. You might experience unexpected results if you import a workbook that was exported from a more recent update of Oracle Analytics. For example, if you export a workbook from an Oracle Analytics environment that includes the September 2025 update, then Oracle doesn’t recommend that you import this workbook into an Oracle Analytics environment that includes an earlier update such as June 2025.

To import a workbook file (.dva file) into Oracle Analytics Cloud:

1. From Oracle Analytics Cloud, open the Page Menu and then select Import Workbook/Flow.
2. In the Import Workbook/Flow dialog, select Select File, navigate to the appropriate file, then click Import.
3. (Optional) Select Change File to import a different workbook.
4. In Import Successful, select OK.
   Oracle Analytics adds the imported workbook to your home page. After the import is successful, open the workbook.
