I'm currently developing a website, where I now need to create a few tables. I have recieved a xlsx-file, with about 1600 rows, divided in about 15 different product-categories. I need to display a specific product under a specific category by razor or something else.
I have an idea, though I dont know if it's the best one. Anyway: divide the xlsx-file into the 15 different product-categories and export to .csv. These csv files I upload in my page in Umbraco, and then by some awesome code print it out in a html table through razor.
What have I done so far? - Well, I have created one .csv to use as test while creating everything. Added a property on the Document Type, so that I can upload i file (csv). But then Im stuck. What is my next move? Should a create a razor and call for the uploaded file on the Node?
Hi Jesper, are you aiming to create a node for each row in your sheet? You could use CMS import and import the whole sheet at once putting each column into a different property on each node, then print it out with Razor or XLST however you want.
Here's a link to CMS import, there's both a paid and free version, you could probably make due with the free one for your needs if you split the sheet up, but the paid one is awesome: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/cmsimport
It doesn't have to be a new node for every row i the sheet. I just tried now, and the import works. But as you said, every row become a single node. The important thing is to get all nodes in a Table. So I guess I should figure out how to get all sub-nodes to a Table?
Display information from csv/xlsx to html table
