Hi,

Never seen that.

I've imported an excel file but was three years ago...

I use CSV on a daily basis now, that is much easier to import.

Thanks,
  TF

    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?
