Upload to Spark
Push your Excel to Spark from Excel!
Without having to open the Spark web user interface, users can upload their Excel files to the platform using the Spark Assistant. Hassle-free and quick, this method also provides transparency by showing up as recent activity on the Spark dashboard.
One-step upload
Upload your open Excel file to Spark in just one step. This feature comes in handy when changes are made regularly to a file and you don't wish to follow the longer process.
This option will only be available if a configured service, downloaded from Spark, is open or if the file was previously uploaded using Spark Assistant.
For all other files, please follow the Full upload.
From the Home page, select the option to One step upload

Once the open Excel file is uploaded to Spark, it will be synced with the selected folder and service. You can view this connection at any time from the top right corner by clicking on the cloud icon. This connection will let users always be in the context of the selected API from the Spark Assistant.
