3. Set Upload File as the location of the spreadsheet.
4. Click Browse and find the Excel spreadsheet you want to use.
5. Enter the name or tab number for the Worksheet that contains the data you want to use in Presto.
For example:
*3 identifies the worksheet in the third tab of this spreadsheet.
*RawData identifies the worksheet with the name "RawData".

Presto uploads a snapshot of the spreadsheet data, registers the mashable and turns this mashable information source on (by default). Then, either:
*Grant permissions to run this mashable to other users and groups:
*Choose the mashble-wide Service >> mashable name permissions section to grant run permissions to all operations. Or expand a specific Operation >> operation name section to grant run permissions for just that operation.
*Find Users and Groups for Permissions or Choose Presto Built-In Groups for Permissions.
*Click on a user or group in the Search result list to add them to the list of Principals with permissions.
*Save the permissions once the list is complete.
*Or skip permissions for now and click Finish.
To allow other users to work with this mashable, you must grant run permissions at a later time.
Note:  
Some groups or users may already be listed as Principals with permissions. These users and groups have been defined by a Presto administrator to grant permission automatically.
