If you have been following this blog in the last few months you may have already seen several blog posts explaining how to accomplish some end-to-end scenarios that involve different kinds of data sources (Excel, Text files, OData feeds or some Web APIs, for example) using the “Data Explorer” Cloud Service.

While this is great for showing some quick tips & tricks in “Data Explorer”, we have been also working on a number of additional learning resources: tutorial videos and step-by-step samples, as well as the “Data Explorer” Formula language and library specifications.

These are some of the contents you will find:

• Importing data from the Windows Azure Marketplace.
• Merging multiple files.
• Adding a Web page as a data source.
• Using lookup and merges.
• Playing with functions and lookup tables.
• Importing a table from a text file.

You can access all these resources in the Data Explorer Learning Page.

If you have any questions or there are any other samples that you would like to see in the future to help you learn more about “Data Explorer”, don’t hesitate to let us know with a comment on this post or using our MSDN Forum; we are looking forward to hear from you!
