Importing from MS Access Database using Import Wizard



Now you can import data from the MS Access database files you have stored in Local Drives, Web URLs, FTP servers or Cloud Drives right from the Import Wizard in Zoho Reports user interface. Previously MS Access database files can be imported only using the Upload Tool .

You can choose ‌a Single table, Multiple tables or write a custom SQL query to fetch the data for importing. You can schedule the import in periodic intervals if the Access database files are stored in a Web URL or FTP server or Cloud Drives. You can also choose to sync data instantly from your database in a few clicks.

Multi-date Format Support in Imports



Now Zoho Reports supports importing data with multiple date formats.

Now Zoho Reports will identify multiple date columns with their corresponding date formats. You can also choose to modify the identified date format for each column using the Change Date Format option in preview menu.
