This is probably a very simple issue, but the documentation doesn't seem to cover it. Actually, the docs need to do a much better job of discussing how an Excel table must be formatted to properly be converted to tables.
I have an xlsx spreadsheet. There are rows with currencty values in them. All the values show in the spreadsheet. I create a table from the spreadsheet but none of the entered values display. Values derived from the entered fields display.
Bogdan, thanks. However, when I try this, I get a "Column 'pos' cannot be null" error. Each column has a name, as you can see. What causes this error? Does each row have to have a value as well?
Also, wdt doesn't want to show numbers calculated from other numbers, such as the averages at the right of the table. I assume this is a limitation?
Also, is it possible to style a cell individually? Do you have sample templates with examples of CSS styles I can use for rows and cells?
You can also take a look at this link from our documentation about conditional formatting where you can see how you can use the rules to change the look of the cells.

HI Rick,
Thank you for your inquire.
Can you please send me that xlsx file so I can take a look and try to reproduce the issue on my side.
Best regards.

HI Rick,
I think i found what the issue is.
If you look at the values that you have in the file for example
$107006000000
Because of the $ sign the plugin can not recognize this values like float, it is a string value.
My suggestion is to remove that $ sign and then make a table.
The format of the number should be the same like the number format in the wpDatatables settings table.
Then you can use Cell content prefix feature (attachment) for that columns that you want to have the $ sign.
Now when you import your file with the $ sign and change the column type to string it will recognize it like it is in your file.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,

HI Rick,
Sorry for late response but we did not work on Friday due to national holiday.
Unfortunately any type of formatting in the file is not supported when creating tables from the source files.
Instead we developed our types of formatting, like formula columns or calculated functions.
You can also take a look at this link from our documentation about conditional formatting where you can see how you can use the rules to change the look of the cells.
Best regards.
