Embed Excel file with data in a workflow

I am running a workflow that pulls data from multiple tables in the data warehouse and connect the result to a savings rate excel file on my desktop to calculate the savings. Is there a way i can save or embed permanently that Excel file in the workflow and cut off the connection to my desktop?

Thanks,

Guy

I agree with what has been states in this thread previously: with both @CharlieS on using the text input tool and with @MarqueeCrew on possible nightmare scenarios.

If the Excel file you'd like to embed is small enough (less than 1,000 cells): a Text Input tool can be used for this. The Text Input tool has an Import feature. Click on this icon and browse to your desktop file.

Thank you CharlieS for the swift reply. I will use this going forward for short files. the current one is has 2400 rows. Any other solution for large file? I am using Tableau server and I can output to that server but can't find a way to input from it.
