I'm wondering if the dashboard feed works for a CSV comma delimited format.
I can import the data from the feed link to an excel sheet, but when I save
as a CSV and try to Refresh all, it appears that there is no connection.
Is there a way to update the data as a CSV file, without having to
re-import the dashboard feed link every time?
Unfortunately, I don't believe that Excel can easily do an automated
refresh on CSV files. You may need to keep the file in an Excel format,
and then save it to CSV when you need to use it as a CSV.
Alternatively, you can setup a daily saved export that is a CSV you can
just download as needed.

Thanks for your response!
Does creating a csv daily saved export mean that it will export every day
automatically? If so, does it create a new csv file for each export (every
day) or can I make it so that new data overwrites old versions?
Thanks!

You will get a link to download a new CSV each day - depending on how you
setup your filters in the daily saved export, this could be just the last 7
days worth of day, or all the data in your project.
