Title: Refresh external data into report
Post by: BigChris on 29 Nov 2013 02:17:03 AM
Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I've brought some external data from an Excel spreadsheet into a report which has created a local package. Everything works fine, but the data doesn't appear to change in the report if the data in the spreadsheet changes after the import. Have I missed a trick when I imported it? Do I need to select something that will make the data flow through to the report? Or have I just misunderstood the way that it works - is it a simple import rather than a link?

Any help or pointers to information would be gratefully received.

C

My guess is that it's cached - you may just need to refresh the cache.
