Connect Excel to Cortex

Kondado connects your Excel files to Cortex so your spreadsheets become visual dashboards. Paste the address of a file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, choose the worksheet, and Kondado reads the first filled row as the header, turning each title into a column. Cortex then receives that data on the schedule you choose, such as every 5 minutes, hourly, or daily. No code, no intermediate databases, no complex setup. Business users can follow results without opening the spreadsheet, and charts, cards, and trend lines stay aligned with the file your team maintains.

The Spreadsheet (worksheet) pipeline brings each row of the selected worksheet into Cortex, with the Excel row number plus a text column for every header found in the first filled row. That means a monthly budget, a sales targets sheet, or a campaign registry can each power its own dashboard. Marketing teams track planned versus spent by channel, operations teams follow inventory levels and delivery counts, and finance teams watch budget lines against actuals. Charts, cards, and trend lines turn those rows into decisions your team can act on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing Excel data in Cortex automatically

How do I connect an Excel file to Cortex on Kondado? ▼
Add Excel as a data source in Kondado and paste the address of the file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. Choose the worksheet you want to follow, and Kondado reads the first filled row as the header, so each title becomes a column. Then select Cortex as the destination and publish your first dashboard.
How often does the data in Cortex update? ▼
You set the frequency yourself: every 5 minutes, every 15 minutes, hourly, daily, or another interval that fits your routine. Kondado then refreshes the data in Cortex on that schedule, so your charts follow the latest version of the worksheet. For monthly budget reviews, a daily update is often enough, while operational tracking usually calls for shorter intervals.
Which KPIs can I track with Excel data in Cortex? ▼
It depends on the worksheet, but teams commonly follow budget versus actual spend, sales targets against results, campaign costs, inventory levels, and monthly revenue. Because each header becomes a column, any numeric column in your sheet can become a chart, card, or trend line in Cortex.
Can I build dashboards without technical skills? ▼
Yes. Cortex works with drag-and-drop charts, and Kondado handles the data connection for you, with no code and no intermediate databases. You pick the worksheet, and the columns appear ready to use in your charts, so marketing, operations, and finance teams build their own views.
Can I start from a ready-made dashboard for my Excel data? ▼
Dashboards in Cortex are built around your own worksheet, so you decide which columns become charts, which totals appear as cards, and how the page is organized. Kondado keeps the data flowing on your schedule, and you shape the view around the questions your team asks.
Can I share a Cortex dashboard with my team? ▼
Yes, dashboards in Cortex can be shared with colleagues so everyone follows the same numbers. Combine a shared view with a scheduled update and your team sees consistent figures for budgets, targets, or registries without trading spreadsheet versions.
Can I combine Excel data with other sources in the same dashboard? ▼
Yes. Kondado connects 80+ data sources, so you can create pipelines from several sources and visualize them together in Cortex. If a different destination fits the team better, you can also send data to Google Sheets, BigQuery, or Power BI.
What happens when the Excel file gets new rows? ▼
Each update reads the worksheet again, so new rows and edited values appear in Cortex on the next scheduled refresh. The first filled row stays as the header, and each row keeps its Excel row number, which helps you trace a chart point back to the sheet.
