Hello, I created a table using a CSV and configured all the columns and filtering. I plan on reimporting the data on a weekly basis but can't find a way to do so. I don't want to create a new table each week because of all the configuring I had to do on my table. Is reimporting possible though?
If you created a table linked to the file, you could overwrite the file located in ..wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH/ folder, and the table will be updated when you do that, but you need to keep in mind that you can't change the structure of the source file, so renaming, deleting, adding or reordering columns in the source file will cause the table to break.
If you're importing the file, unfortunately there's no way that you can reimport the file to update the table through the plugin. You could upload a CSV file (without headers, containing the same-structured, new, data) into this table in the database.

Hello Firespring
Thank you for your purchase.
Did you create a table linked to a CSV file or by Importing a CSV file?
