This tutorial walks you through how you can add an XLSX file into the NexusOne platform from a public URL.
XLS files are also supported.

Prerequisite

  • Appropriate permission: nx1_ingest, nx1_monitor, nx1_s3_admin, airflow_user, superset_user, spark_sql, and trino_admin

Add the public URL to the portal

  1. Log in to NexusOne.
  2. On the NexusOne homepage, navigate to Ingest > File.
  3. In the File Details section, click Public File URL.
  4. In File URL, enter the following URL to a XLSX file:
https://rapid-file-tutorial.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/customers.xlsx
Add the URL into the File URL box.
There are no file options to customize the xlsx file when you ingest a file using a public URL.

Add ingest details

Add the following information to the fields:
  • Name: xlsx_url
  • Schema: xlsx_url_schema
  • Table: xlsx_url_table
  • Schedule: None
  • Mode: append
  • Tags: Don’t add any tags
For the Schedule field, None specifies that the DAG on Apache Airflow won’t run. After adding these details, click Ingest. Wait for a few minutes until you see a success message appear.

Monitor and trigger job

  1. When you ingest the file, this creates an Airflow job, so a success message with a View Jobs button appears.
  2. Track the job status by clicking View Jobs or navigate to the NexusOne homepage and click Monitor.
  3. You should see your job name, xlsx, in the list, and its current status. Use the three dots ... menu to trigger the job.
  4. If you clicked Trigger job, then click the job’s name to open its DAG details in Airflow’s portal.

Visualize your dataset

Use the following steps to visualize your dataset:
  1. On the NexusOne homepage, click Discover to launch Superset.
  2. Hover your mouse over SQL and select SQL Lab.
  3. Enter the following command in the query box:
SELECT * FROM xlsx_url_schema.xlsx_url_table
visualize-xlsx-url-dataset-v4-1-2
