The Spotfire Dashboard Data has to be automated into excel output to the end users. Upon checking i could see there scripts usage to perform the same, but not able to find a proper solution to achieve it.
Your responses and guidance to the same is very much appreciated.
Currently, this isn't built into Spotfire but you could do it with some custom coding and the Spotfire API. What is available is automated export as PDF or JPG. You'll want to read up on Spotfire Automation Services.

getting value from the list and automatical creating a quick link in SharePoint using power automate is this possible
Hii
I'm new to SharePoint, I'm trying to create a dynamic page which means getting value from the list and automatical creating a quick link in SharePoint UI using power automate is thispossibleb ?
possiblel means how can I make that I'mm i just stuck the with past week need help.. any buddy can guide me to get this?
You can create these kind of links with Send an HTTP request actions. You could for example use the SavePage method to set the values of Quick Links web part.
Have a look at this Power Automate thread:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Changing-SharePoint-Quick-links-via-Power-Automate-HTTP/m-p/1671247
Try that approach and if you have any specific questions let us know.
I am trying to create a data entry "app" to collect daily readings across our site. Here are the three biggest constraints:
Software - ideally, we would use some software within the Microsoft 365 Suite, mainly because those are the only approved apps on site. It may be possible to use open source software, but that might raise some flags in terms of security. So my thoughts are to use either Excel or Access.
Cost - ideally, we do not want purchase any additional software licenses. I would try and create something with Power Apps, but we do not have the licensing for an Azure or SQL server to store the data. I could be missing something here though.
Mobile-Friendly - finally, it needs to work on an Android tablet. Currently, we collect readings using pen and paper. The whole idea of this is to move towards using a tablet.
The easiest approach would be to create an Excel spreadsheet, save it on OneDrive, and edit the spreadsheet. I don't love this option because we are collecting 100's of data points each day. This would end up with a very wide spreadsheet that will be cumbersome to navigate.
The other option I looked into was creating an Access database and accompanying form and storing it on SharePoint. However, it seems Microsoft has stopped supporting Access databases on SharePoint.
I have created data entry forms using VBA, similar to this, but these do not work on mobile.
Is it possible to create a data entry form in Excel that also works on the Android version of Excel? Are there other alternatives I am not thinking of?
I am engaged in just this kind of project also. I have written an app in PowerApps, built an Excel spreadsheet and stored it in OneDrive, and am running it (the app) on an iPad. The design differs somewhat from your description of directly presenting a spreadsheet to the user (which I think PowerApps could do) because I don't want users having direct access to the data.
Edit: You do not need Azure or SQL, unless you are storing tons of data. Excel can be a satisfactory data storage location for modest uses.
I found the learning curve for PowerApps to be quite steep, as it's a different paradigm than line-by-line coding.
I think this is a more user friendly way to collect data than trying to run an Excel form, and once you get it made and polished, you'll look like a pro :)
I am by no means an expert but if you need some tips I'll do what I can to help. It sounds like we are at similar developmental stages.

Microsoft Forms does the job when created from OneDrive on mobile browser. Side note: the form I just created and the response I submitted have now disappeared from my OneDrive.
I also saw some people using Power Automate to save responses from a form into an Excel file (every reponse).
I have some industrial data that i wish to present in a spotfire dashboard to a client. I want to make the dashboard so that it would update automatically and I have not been able to find a tutorial on Tibco's site or here for how to do this.
It would be great if someone could tell me how to make spotfire look in a particular place (server, desktop, wherever) for a new .csv file, open it and create a defined set of visualizations and then mail a pdf to the client.
I have been through the spotfire automation services manual but I can't find a specific guide to what I need it to do.
All help appreciated.
I went back and read thru the whole question again, including the other person's answer. In order to be able to do what you want to do, you need to have Spotfire Server and Spotfire Automation Services. Automation Services in a product that you have to purchase separately from Spotfire, although it is bundled with the Analyst client.
In your question you said -- It would be great if someone could tell me how to make spotfire look in a particular place (server, desktop, wherever) for a new .csv file, open it and create a defined set of visualizations and then mail a pdf to the client.
I made the assumption that you knew you needed Automation Services to do this. All of my answers have been based around the use of Automation Services. That's the only way to push an email to a user that I know of. After you setup the Automation Services job, you also have to use Active Batch to schedule the Automation Services job, which I noted as part of the original 3 step process.

What you want to do is schedule updates to your linked data. What this will do is re-query the data-source at the specified schedule (once a day, twice an hour, etc) that you specify and cache it on the web server.
Here is the documentation for that.

It would be great if someone could tell me how to make spotfire look

open it and create a defined set of visualizations and then mail a pdf
to the client.
For this, you still want to use scheudle updates for the first part after you have linked your analysis to your csv file. Your file name will have to remain the same for spotfire to pick it up unless you customize this with some scripting. Once that is complete, you'll want to use Automation Services to complete your mailing a pdf.

Generally speaking, this is a three step process.
1. In the desktop app, create a report (File -- Export -- to PDF -- prepared report. In this step you are creating the export and telling Spotfire specifically what to export. Where to find the report
2. In the desktop app, create the Automation Services Job (Tools -- Automation Services Job Builder). All jobs start with opening the file. Then you create the export. Then send the email. Sample active batch jobe
3. Now, you have to automate the task. This can be done with Windows Task Scheduler or Active Batch.
Those are the high-level steps. There is a lot of syntax and detail in each of the steps, but this should get you started. Please reply with more detailed questions on any one of the steps.
I am using excel for reports. I have a requirement to send these reports as emails automatically, Is there a feature in excel that helps in this?
I have used power BI before but Can this be done in power BI?
For scheduled reports, you can use Reporting Services. RS can generate Excel files as output. Might not be exactly what you're looking for.
Does anyone knows a way to publish my PivotTables and PivotCharts made in Excel, Access, or PowerPivot 2010 to a web page and maintain the interactivity?
I know this was possible in Excel 2003, but cant find a way to do the same in Excel 2010 without having to use Sharepoint and Excel Services.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
In terms of PowerPivot based files this isn't possible.
Jacob
The cheapest and easiest option would be to put the dataset in Azure or Azure Marketplace and have them query the data directly via the PowerPivot plugin. Other than that you can not maintain the interactivity of the pivot chart online. It's not part of your question but I would suggest taking a look at a http://www.highcharts.com/ or http://d3js.org/ implementation. You can interact with an example here:
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/pie-basic (click jsfidle)
If you get to the point where you can justify the cost of having powerful reports online you can take a look at http://spotfire.tibco.com/demos at our last company we had so many requests for pivot tables and their charts to be accessible online that we ended up having to buy a Spotfire license :/
Good luck!
