load data from shared folder to servicenow instance

[DharamsingV]

I want to fetch the data every day from the shared folder and transform the data and update the records in a target table

I will get data in a excel format every day
i want to import the same data from the shared folder to the ServiceNow target table
Could anybody tell me how to achieve this requirement

Thanks

ServiceNow can’t pull files straight from a shared drive/folder on its own. So you usually do one of these:

• Move/copy the daily Excel file from the shared folder to somewhere ServiceNow can reach (for example, an FTP location, a web location, or by uploading the file).
• Or use a MID Server, which can “reach into” your internal network shared folder and help send the file into ServiceNow.
  Once ServiceNow can access the file, you can set up a scheduled import so it runs automatically every day.The normal ServiceNow way to load Excel data is:
• Create a Data Source (this tells ServiceNow where the Excel file is and what format it is).
• Load the data into an Import Set table first (think of this as a “staging area”).
• Use a Transform Map to match the Import Set fields to your target table fields, and do any data cleanup/changes during the load.
