Hi All,
I want to import a scheduled excel report generated from one prod system to splunk. When I manually imported it, it showed me encoded as shown below
![alt text][1]
[1]: /storage/temp/275793-excel-file-upload-2.png
I read through few answers to similar query, and found that splunk doesnot support xls foramt. Splunk can upload only text based format file. Then I came across, splunk ODBC driver, in the blog "Excelling with excel in splunk" (link below).
https://www.splunk.com/blog/2016/02/15/excelling-with-excel-in-splunk.html
The blog states that "..... Splunk enables you to connect Excel directly to Splunk with the ODBC Connector for Windows, as well as enabling you to export with outputcsv a csv file. Dominique from Helvetia Insurance has developed a Splunk TA that is freely available on Splunkbase which allows you to **import,** export and e-mail **data in XLS format**..... "
But then I did not find qny relevant document which explains "how to import excel sheet using this driver" except the link below to "use it with microsoft excel"
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ODBC/2.1.1/UseODBC/MicrosoftExcel
Is there any relevant document for the same or any other method to analyse the excel reports in splunk?
