    Direct connection from dashboard to web service?

    Is there a way, in HTML5 and JS, to create a connection to a WebService and create a chart? Especially if I do not have a spreadsheet.

    As of today you've got to create the connection through Excel first, Evan. This is a great suggestion though, we'll certainly consider it! Thanks!
