Thanks.
I am thankfull for the user guides, technical manuals, release notes.
But what iam looking for is the tutorial like solved exercises.
a step by step approach to get the clarity about the topic rather about the subject

the same as available for Data services

Data Services Supplement for SAP

Here is a book on how to use Xcelsius, which you can get at Amazon.

Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard Best Practices (Business Objects Press) by Loren Abdulezer.

Also Ryan Goodman has a great web site with examples.

Hi Sandeep - you need to click on ‘Download source files’ to see the way in which the dashboards are configured.

Good Luck!

Hi Guinea,

A tutorial comes with the software as Quick start from zero to wow!!

They provide the proper test data in the form of an excel sheet and step by step procedure too, to do the casestudy or execise.

Well, your help and efforts are appreciated.
