Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have created an app That requires an updated spreadsheet to be imported on a daily basis to the common data service.My question is when I import the new data is the old data replaced? Or does the old data have to be removed before? thx

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Importing data to CDS will not delete the old data, it will only update with the new data.

     

    If you just want to import data from excel files stored in any cloud file provider to CDS, you can actually use flow. 

     

    For your reference:
