Choosing Data Sources
Before you can begin to explore data in a project, you must select the source for that information. For example, if you want to explore product sales by region, you can select the Sample Sales subject area as the data source. You can select subject areas or uploaded data files such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as your data sources.
To choose data sources in a project:
- In the Add Source dialog, select a subject area or a saved file, or upload a file that contains the measures and attributes you want to visualize. This dialog opens automatically when you create a new project. See also Adding Data from External Sources.
- Click Add to Project.
Note:
To add data sources to an existing project, click the Data Sources pane, and then click the Add Data Source link.
