To make it easiest on my client, I want her to keep her data in an Excel spreadsheet. But I need to do my own wpdb query to extract the data, in order to do more advanced formatting.
Since the "Excel" type of table isn't actually in the database, I cannot query that. So I can have her import her excel data into a Manual table. When she makes updates, I want her to be able to simply re-import the whole file, allowing my code to use the same table query.
Is there a way to clear out the table, so that when she re-imports the data, it's only what's currently in the file?
Unfortunately each manual table will be needed to be imported again and there is no possible way to just upload the file and empty the already created table.
As for the Add from data source (the first option in table wizard) the changes in the file will be applied to the table after some time ( because of the caching).
