This tutorial walks you through how you can upload an XLSX file into the NexusOne platform.
XLS files are also supported.

Prerequisite

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

Download an XLSX file

Use a Sales dataset from Kaggle.

Upload it to the portal

  1. Log in to NexusOne.
  2. On the NexusOne homepage, navigate to Ingest > File.
  3. In the File Details section, click Upload File > Choose file.
After choosing a file, several file options displays, which provides extra customization for the XLSX file:
  • Header: Use the first row as the column name. Defaults to True.
  • Sheet Name: Enter the sheet name to read. Defaults to 0, the first sheet.
Leave the file options as defaults since the data has no special configurations needed.

Add ingest details

Add the following information to the fields:
  • Name: xlsx
  • Schema: xlsx_schema
  • Table: xlsx_table
  • Schedule: Run Once
  • Mode: append
  • Tags: Don’t add any tags
After adding these details, click Ingest. Wait for a few minutes until you see a success message appear.

Monitor job

When you ingest the file, this creates an Airflow job. To monitor the status of the job, use the following steps:
  1. Click View Jobs or navigate to the NexusOne homepage and click Monitor.
  2. Find your job name, xlsx, in the list, and watch its current status.
  3. Wait for a few minutes and refresh your browser until the status changes to Completed.

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 then select SQL Lab.
  3. Enter the following command in the query box:
SELECT * FROM xlsx_schema.xlsx_table
visualize-xlsx-dataset-v4-1-2
