Dynamic schedule using excel sheet??

I want to create dynamic schedule which should create 10 different reports using 10 different userids. I don’t want do selection from database. Is there any way I could save those 10 userids to excel sheet and create 10 different reports and send them via email. This email ids also it should pick up from excel sheet (or any other saved file).

Re: Dynamic schedule using excel sheet??

You can create a system ODBC DSN pointing to your excel spreadsheet and then use it to create the dynamic schedule in CRD.

Re: Dynamic schedule using excel sheet??

Could you please list the steps. I am not able to figure that out.

Re: Dynamic schedule using excel sheet??

1. Create your excel spreadsheet and save it to a location that CRD has read/write access to
2. Open Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)
3. Select the "System DSN" tab
4. Click the "Add" button
5. Select "Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)" from the list of ODBC drivers
6. Click "Finish" button
7. In the next window, enter the data source name in the relevant field
8. Click the "Select Workbook..." button and then select the spreadsheet you created in step 1
9. Click "OK" to finish setting up the DSN

You should now be able to select this DSN in CRD for your dynamic schedules.

Does Excel need to be installed on the machine to do this connection??

Re: Dynamic schedule using excel sheet??

It should work as long as the Excel ODBC drivers are installed on the pc.
