Confusion #72494

Closed Zarathrustra closed 3 years ago

Zarathrustra commented 3 years ago

The page was bewildering in its profusion. I was expecting a simple explanation (or, even better, a video) of how to upload my Excel spreadsheet into an Azure workspace.

Thanks Derek for getting back to me.

I've delayed as I have tried to recall/rebuild what I had originally done - but I am not sure which one I did initially stumble on and complain about I'm afraid.

My main gripe is that all the Azure Welcoming info is seemingly generalised, whereas I'm looking for an idiot's way in: a step by step example of going from an Excel spreadsheet to using what I believe is the rich set of Azure AI tools. So: How to do an Azure add-in (I do now know how to do that); to (presumably) uploading an Excel spreadsheet into the Azure workspace; to selecting the input variables to test against chosen output ones; and how to get the results.

I've found some YouTube guides and am attempting to do the above from those. So far, I've only got to including the Azure addin to my spreadsheet.

But given that Azure is seemingly an attempt to get novices to AI to use AI on their spreadsheets, I've not found the Azure info so far very intuitive.

Kind regards, Ian

Hi Derek,

I started with this: Home - Microsoft Azurehttps://portal.azure.com/#home Microsoft Azurehttps://portal.azure.com/#home Microsoft is radically simplifying cloud dev and ops in first-of-its-kind Azure Preview portal at portal.azure.com portal.azure.com Then, thinking I needed to Setup a place to put my Excel spreadsheet, from what I understood on: How to Import Data from Microsoft Excel to Windows Azure SQL Database - SQL Training Online - Bing videohttps://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+do+I+upload+my+Excel+data+into+Azure+Workspace%3f&docid=608000244146503797&mid=8BFBBC02C9B6AE7EA72F8BFBBC02C9B6AE7EA72F&view=detail&FORM=VIRE [http://www.bing.com/sa/simg/facebook_sharing_2.png]https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+do+I+upload+my+Excel+data+into+Azure+Workspace%3f&docid=608000244146503797&mid=8BFBBC02C9B6AE7EA72F8BFBBC02C9B6AE7EA72F&view=detail&FORM=VIRE how do I upload my Excel data into Azure Workspace? - Binghttps://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+do+I+upload+my+Excel+data+into+Azure+Workspace%3f&docid=608000244146503797&mid=8BFBBC02C9B6AE7EA72F8BFBBC02C9B6AE7EA72F&view=detail&FORM=VIRE Intelligent search from Bing makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for and rewards you. www.bing.com

I went down the rabbit hole of trying to set up a Database - and got lost and gave up.
