Hi All,
We are using daily exports to monitor our data through excel dashboards.
However, each time we update the dashboards, it downloads more and more
data which is making the dashboards very slow. Is there any way of setting
them up so they only download the most recent portion of the data and not
all the historic data as well?
Many thanks!
Jennie
Hi Jennie,
Unfortunately no. For high-volume projects we recommend changing your
workflow to use the data export tool

Many thanks for your reply Cory. Are there any other recommended ways in
which to analyse/present the data on a regular basis for daily monitoring?
We are also using Tableau but it seems like we will have the same problems
with the data accumulating over time? Unless it is possible to link Tableau
desktop straight to the CommCare server itself?
Hey Jennifer,
The data export tool I linked will do incremental updates and can save to a
SQL database. So if you use that to save to a separate database you can
connect tableau to that. That setup has been successful for other projects.
cheers,
Cory
