Hi, Stefano 

Sorry for replying late to your tickets today.

Yes. If you need to make editable tables from source Excel data,

you can do so by importing data from an Excel file, this makes a new Manual Table in the database.

Manual tables have this unique Editing View that you can switch to if you enable Excel-Like editor View.

More about the Excel-Like editor here.

And here you can see in general about front-end editing in our plugin.

For front-end editing, we have "Editor Roles" as available setting, which is used if you wish to limit editing only to specific user roles, or if you keep it as "Everyone", then non logged users can also edit tables.

I will give you additional informations about using Excel data with our plugin ( if it will be useful to know);

If you would use Excel spreadsheets,

 there are two ways to create wpDataTables:

1. Create a table linked to an existing Excel file,

if you choose to Create a wpDataTable and upload the Excel file :

 in which case you get to select the file (upload it) that'll be used to pull the data.

 This file will be stored in ../wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH/ folder. 

The file on that location can be changed/edited, but the column structure can't. 

So, if you have the file with the same name,

 the same number of columns, same headers, and the same order of columns - you'd be able to replace the original file with the new file, and wpDataTables would pick that up.

-

Alternatively, if you select "URL from any domain"

Creating a table linked to an Excel file by providing its URL is pretty much the same as it is for creating a table by uploading an Excel file. 

The only difference is that you would choose the URL from any domain option instead of the WordPress Media Library option under File location when creating the table,

and when you want to edit the source file,   you don't have to edit the one that is now in your Media Library folder,

but you can edit on the original source file.

2. 

 If you import the file, the plugin reads the source file and creates a manual table. 

Once the table is created, it is no longer linked to the source file, so changing data in the table will not show up in Excel or Google Spreadsheet, and vice-versa. 

To modify this table, you can either switch to the Excel-like view, 

and then select and copy the range of cells you want to paste from the source file, and paste it in the Excel-like view, 

or you can import a new/edited CSV to update the table, as well, in the following ways :

• Replace data within an existing table.
• Add data to an existing table.
•   Replace the entire table with new data.

You can see more details on Updating manual tables from source files (CSV, Excel or Google sheet) here.

And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing

 on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,  

as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),

and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, 

so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
