I want to be able to use this spreadsheet as a datasource. Here are the concearns. The spreadsheet changes quaterly. Sometimes in its physical structure i.e. column names won't be the same. The client wants to have an easy mechanism to upload the spreadsheet and the application does the rest. So..... I was thinking that the client could upload the spreadsheet via a backend system. CF would then need to create an on the fly datasource to this spreadsheet and be able to read all of the column headings etc ..... I have no idea how to even start this one....? Can this even be done? Can anyone point me in the direction of some reading around this ...?
