Consuming sensor data from Amazon QuickSight

To consume sensor data from Amazon QuickSight, we should provide supported sensor data sources. For the demo, we will consume sensor data from the Excel file. I have prepared this data.  You can download it from https://github.com/agusk/awsiot/raw/master/data/Sensor-Data.xlsx.
