Excel files on local machine to SQL server

Hi All,

 

Need help in getting data from Excel files on the local machine to the SQL server.

 

I have a few excel files on my local machine (can be in a shared location), want to import those files into SQL server (On-prem). or Destination can tableau extract as well.

 

The workflow works fine on my local machine, but I want to deploy onto the server and schedule a job to run every day.

 

This should be a simple task(I think) but not able to find any online guide to get this done.

 

In the power bi, Azure world we use Data gateway to get local/on-prem data.

 

Do we have something similar for Alteryx? I read somewhere we need to create .bat file with user credentials in the "Events" section.

 

Can you please help with the steps to get this working?

 

Regards,

Arvind
