Hi, I am a beginner in SAP dashboard and have some questions. I would like to know whether there is any function that enable me to extract the video views from a particular website for example, Youtube. I need this data in the excel to be link to the video views, such that when there is changes in the video views, the data in the excel will reflect the latest video views. If there isn’t any function that enable me to extract this data, does anyone know what other kinds of method I can use ? Thanks

Yes, you can do this.

First you need to understand XML and how to get comments from YouTube
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_comments#Retrieve_comments.

Next you need to study how to set up a Excel XML map inside Excel.

Next you need to study how to create an XML connector in Xcelsius and what it does, and how to activate your connector once it is made.

Next, You will learn about Adobe Global Security settings, which will enable your SWF to communicate with the source XML file securely.

Reply back when you get stuck or have a specific question.
