Hi Mónica,

if i understand, the table should look similar to the one you sent from your example images?

If you wish, you can check out our own sports Table example,

our developers made this Premier League football standings Table example.

We also made a tutorial how you can make a table like this.

Please check it out here.

2. I did not understand one point of your use case.

You mentioned you need to update some 'punctuations',

can you please elaborate more what you mean by this?

3. Working with Excel and our Plugin :

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.

Please note:  For the option of “URL from any domain”, this source file needs to be accessible online in order to create a table from it, and the path to the file has to end with the file extention, for example with “.XLSX” or other Excel format. If the URL path to the source file does not end with a dot and its extension, it will not work.

2. 

Or,  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. 

Hi Mónica,

If you want to have these Advanced Filters for the Table,

in this Demo we placed it above the Table, but they can be placed also as footer or header,

in that case you need the Premium version.

In the Free/Lite version we do not have any advanced Column filters available.

You can see the full list of Lite versus Premium in your Dashboard, if you install the Free wpDataTables version, in the WP Dashboard, in our Tab "Lite vs Premium", so there you can check out all the different features that the Premium has :

We also made this as a Manual, editable Table for our Premier League example.

If you need editing, that is also not available in the Free Version.

-

For the Free version, you would need to make an Excel, or a CSV file that holds all your Data for the Table,

so you won't be able to import that data in SQL or make it Editable in the Plugin, or pull SQL Queries from it.

-

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you.
