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!

    I'm looking for a way to publish an Excel workbook (single sheet in case that matters) where to user enters a number in up to each of 40 cells and then clicks on a 'run macro' button to ask the sheet to compute the response.  Can you do that with your add-in?  I am reading that workbooks with macros cannot be run within a website.  :(

    If not I could maybe re-work using SQL but it would not be as good.  Your references to working with SQL, would that be T-SQL or MySQL?

    Look forward to your clarification.

    Hello David

    Thank you for your interest in wpDataTables.

    You are correct, the plugin can only pull the data from the Spreadsheet, but you wouldn't be able to include macros, or edit those tables, since they can only link to the Spreadsheet.

    You could use MySQL, but writing custom queries is not included in the provided support for the plugin, so we wouldn't be able to help you with that.

    Also note that variables and stored queries are not supported, so if you're having issues with that you could create MySQL views in the database and pull them with simple query:

    SELECT * FROM view1

    Kind Regards,
