How to write data back in embedded spreadsheet in xcelsius after exporting the dashboard as SWF?

Question

I don't want to use any external connection. I want to use my embedded spreadsheet of xcelsius as my database. I want to fetch data from it and at the same time I want to store new record into it.

This is all my requirement. Is this possible? If yes please I desperately need some expert guidance to do so.

I have searched a lot for this and I have found lots of stuff. Basically they all are speaking about InfoBurst/Infosol and web-services and many other high end things. I'm very much new in BO and my requirement is also very simple.

Waiting for guidance.

Thanks

As far as I know, you cannot, at least not natively. You'll either need to use an external connector or a third-party plugin (such as CSV Connector from Centigon Solutions).

The only way that you can save data natively, is using the scenarios feature as described here. But this is probably not what you are looking for.

This question also provides some additional information.
