Importing External Data (Excel and Text Files)

Hi All:

I just have a couple questions about importing data into a report with in a package. I have an Excel and a text file that I want to import (they are not the best use cases for Cognos, but this is the best option for it) and modify a small portion of the data and reexport; I have run into the following problems:

  • Can you import a multi-tabbed Excel report? The Excel file I have has 2 tabs
  • For a text/CSV file, does the first row *always* have to be the header? I receive a file that does not contain headers, so I just wanted to ask.

Thank you
