Spreadsheet Import - Dataset

The Import Numbers spreadsheet lets you transfer information from the spreadsheet to the Dataset. There are two formats available to import the dataset information: ONESOURCE Tax Provision and Import Rolling Pin.


Note: When you have a large amount of data to enter, update the import template and then import the information. To create an import template, you can click 2016 my datasets export and the Export Dataset dialog box opens in which you can make selections to create the file.


 

Both formats let users with Read/Write access transfer data from an Excel spreadsheet to ONESOURCE Tax Provision.
