There are 3 ways in which Xcelcius can access data from the UNIVERSE:

Query as a Web Service: Using Query as a Web Service tool, we can create a queries from the universe along with filter condition. The QAAWS qury panel is similar to the WebIntelligence query panel. In Xcelcius dashboard, we can create a QAAWS connection that would point to a particular Query and import the data into the excel data sheet of the xlf

Business Intelligence Web Service: In this method, we can use the output of a report directly in the Xcelcius dashboard. Using Webi Rich Client, we export the report to repository, then select a block from the report, right click and select PUBLISH as Web Service option. However BIWS does not have a connection of its own. We access this BIWS through a QAAWS connection only.

LiveOffice: LiveOffice is an additional component that needs to be installed. This creates a sort of plugin for all MS Office applications, though which they can access data from Web Intelligence reports. I MS Excel, we can launch the Live Office Insert WIZARD by Insert -> Web Intelligence Content. We can use this wizard to ADD selective content from a webi report. In the Xcelcius dashboard, a Live Office connection is created andwe access this Live Office excel sheet though this connection.
