SharePoint Excel Services ETL Source

See the Connector Marketplace topic. Please request your administrator to start a trial or subscribe to the Premium SharePoint Excel Services connector.

In Gathr, it can be added as a channel to help in fetching customers’ and prospects’ data and transform it as needed before storing it in a desired data warehouse to run further analytics.

Schema Type #

See the topic Provide Schema for ETL Source → to know how schema details can be provided for data sources.

After providing schema type details, the next step is to configure the data source.

Data Source Configuration #

Configure the data source parameters as explained below.

Connection Name #

Connections are the service identifiers. A connection name can be selected from the list if you have created and saved connection details for SharePoint Excel Services earlier. Or create one as explained in the topic - SharePoint Excel Services Connection →

Use the Test Connection option to ensure that the connection with the SharePoint Excel Services channel is established successfully.

A success message states that the connection is available. In case of any error in test connection, edit the connection to resolve the issue before proceeding further.

Entity #

Tables in SharePoint Excel Services are statically defined to model SharePoint Excel Services entities.

If you selected the Fetch From Source method to design the application, the Entities will list as per the configured connection. Select the entity to be read from SharePoint Excel Services.

If you selected the Upload Data File method to design the application, the exact name of the entity should be provided to read the data from SharePoint Excel Services.

If you selected the Fetch From Source method to design the application, the Fields would list as per the Entity chosen in the previous configuration parameter. Select the fields or provide a custom query to read the desired records from SharePoint Excel Services.

Fields #

The conditions to fetch source data from a SharePoint Excel Services table can be specified using this option.

Select Fields: Select the column(s) of the entity that should be read.

Custom Query: Provide an SQL query specifying the read conditions for the source data.

Example: SELECT "Id" FROM Companies

If you selected the Upload Data File method to design the application, provide a custom query to fetch records from the SharePoint Excel Services entity specified in the previous configuration.

Query #

The conditions to fetch source data from a SharePoint Excel Services table can be specified using this option.

Provide an SQL query specifying the read conditions for the source data.

Example: SELECT "Id" FROM Companies

Read Options #

This section contains additional read options.

Header #

Indicates whether the first row should be used as a column header when using the REST API.

If true, the first row will be used as a column header. Otherwise, the pseudo column names A, B, C, etc. will be used.

IgnoreCalcError #

Indicates whether to ignore errors that occurred during the calculation.

IgnoreCalcError defaults to false. If IgnoreCalcError is set to true, the provider will ignore any errors that occur due to formula calculation. If this happens, the formula result may be unreliable, but other data will be accurate.

Include Navigation Parent Columns #

Indicates if navigation parent columns should be included on navigation views.

It may be worth displaying them in order to take advantage of being able to filter based on information about the parent.

When set to false, the primary keys of the parent will still be displayed to allow for joining back to the parent, but other other columns will not be.

Partitioning #

This section contains partitioning-related configuration parameters.

Enable Partitioning #

This enables parallel reading of the data from the entity.

Partitioning is disabled by default.

If enabled, an additional option will appear to configure the partitioning conditions.

Column #

The selected column will be used to partition the data.

Max Rows per Partition: Enter the maximum number of rows to be read in a single request.

Example: 10,000

It implies that a maximum number of 10,000 rows can be read in one partition.

Advanced Configuration #

This section contains additional configuration parameters.

Fetch Size #

The number of rows to be fetched per round trip. The default value is 1000.

Add Configuration: Additional properties can be added using this option as key-value pairs.

Detect Schema #

Check the populated schema details. For more details, see Schema Preview →

Pre Action #

To understand how to provide SQL queries or Stored Procedures that will be executed during pipeline run, see Pre-Actions →.

Notes #

Optionally, enter notes in the Notes → tab and save the configuration.
