Display excel file on a page as data
Is it possible to display an Excel file on a page as a table? I have an Excel based phone directory that I would like to read and display on a page.
TIA
Create a custom widget and in the codebehind read the file and write HTML and desired from stream output of file.
?
Thanks that's what I thought but the systems is so complex I wasn't sure if there was something built in that I hadn't read about yet.

It never occurred to anyone at Sitefinity that there would ever be a demand to import data but there is as of today a great blog post on exactly this with promise of a scheduled webinar to go even further.

They do however already have an export feature available now with module builder not much use without the import but for an additional $3999 you can synchronize data entered manually between two or more sites but still no import so I do not recommend the add on but I do recommend signing up for the webinar.
