Hi ,
I have found a way to connect my dashboard to DB through XML data using script(.aspx file) which creates XML data and stores it in database .
I was able to find a work around solution that is, have your asp filename mentioned in a cell as http://localhost/sample.aspx, then enter the parameter values in another cell say for e.g. a date - 31/08/2009. Now concatenate these two values in another cell so that the output in that cell looks like this
http://localhost/sample.aspx?range_1=31/08/2010
Here "?Range_1" is the Send Data Variable name through which the parameter value is passed in the address bar.
Use the same variable name "Range_1" in the asp file to pass the value to the database.
