Problem description

Let's say you download the xls version of this data.

Check file here.

You then go to the ODE and:

The ODE will only show the first sheet.

Suggested solution

Option 1: after the user uploads an Excel file with multiple sheets, the ODE can display a pop-up message warning the user that the tool will only show information contained on the first sheet.

Option 2: display a pop-up message warning the user that the file contains multiple sheets and give him/her/they the opportunity to select which sheet to show on the preview.

Option 3: allow the ODE to display different previews (one per sheet) on within the tool.
