Hi Apu,

For what understand you want to import the data from the excel to the database?

If so, you an set a processor on paperclip to do that. See the post processing section: https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip

To load the excel, you can use the 'csv' library from ruby: http://www.weheartcode.com/2007/10/05/reading-an-excel-file-with-ruby/

The library above is just an example. There could be a better gem at http://rubygems.org/

Hope it helps,
  TF

I just need to upload the excel files and the data added to the database.

I have followed the tutorial here: http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/plugins/paperclip_with_hobo but this is for uploading an image. Can you please guide me through how I can change it to upload a xls file.

Thanks in advance

    paperciip works for any files, and would be fine with excel files.
     I've used it for uploading pdfs.    If you wanted to do something
    with the excel files, paperclip wouldn't help you there.

    Hi

    I am trying to set up a upload option in my app for people to
    upload excel files.  I know there is paperclip but that is for
    images.
    Anyone has good advice?
