Hi There,  
is this possible to create a table using a parameter file in Kibana?

for eg: - I have an excel file which contains all the dimension field and in the expression field I want a calculated value like - sum(NetSales)-sum(TotalTax) and store into a variable called (Vturnover) and I want to use this variable into Kibana frontend.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Thanks & Regards  
Dhandeep Kumar

Elasticsearch and Kibana don't use parameter files but you could import your data in ES and then visualize it. Is that helpful?

Thanks,  
Matt
