We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

Import and view xlsx format files with filters and formulas inside

    Hi,
    i want to view a .xlsx file with pivot tables on my wordpress site.

    The file inside is composed of two sheets, for simplicity we call them sheet 1 and sheet 2.

    - Sheet 1 can be viewed by any user and contains various columns of data and information, many of which (columns) contain filters.

    - Sheet 2, on the other hand, is password protected so that it cannot be viewed by anyone because it contains all the formulas needed to create the data that can be viewed in sheet one. This is an example code ID INFO.DATI.TAB.PIVOT ("VALORE 2016"; $ A $ 8; "AGENT"; "PIPPO"; "PROVINCE"; "MILAN"; "PRODUCT"; "PAPERINO Bottle. 30 ml . ";)

    Is it possible to import it through your plugin into a web page of my wordpress site?

    if it is a problem to load an xlsx file with 2 internal sheets I can also try to put the formulas and filters within the same sheet and hide them.

    Thank you in advance for the answer you will give me

    Regards
    Massimo

    Hello Massimo

    Thank you for your interest in wpDataTables.

    I'm sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.

    You can't import a file that has multiple sheets. That is - you can, but only the first sheet will be imported, so you'll need to split them up into two Excel files.

    Another thing is that no formatting, formulas, and styles can be carried over from Excel into wpDataTables. You would need to create custom formulas within wpDataTables, but please note that formulas we have are not the same as in Excel, nor can they be nearly as complex.

    You can take a look at our documentation, but I don't believe our plugin will suit you.

    Kind Regards, 

    Aleksandar Vuković
