Hi @Community Alums 

1) Can we create a excel type data source for it, as excel and csv type files looks almost same.

Atul: Yes, we can create both type for data source.

2) What is the difference between csv and excel file.

Atul: 

CSV and Excel or . xls are two different file extensions containing data, where in CSV, the data is in the text format, separated by commas, while in Excel or . xls, information is in the tabular form with rows and columns.

3) How can I create a datasource, for this requirement.
