Drag and Drop data from EXCEL into APEX
Often users you want to edit data inside EXCEL spreadsheet and then upload the data into some application. Often users download data into EXCEL and manipulate the data local.
We got a request from a customer who wanted to download data into EXCEL and maintain the data local and then the user wanted to update the data into the database again. Reason for this requirement was that inside EXCEL he wanted to cut and past columns of data into the spreadsheet from other spreadsheets.
We made an application which the customer could do the following:
We think this feature is cool and makes it very easy to manipulate data local with the features EXCEL can offer. We made a "Draqg And Drop" region inside the APEX page where the data i past and dragged. Thanks to Stephen & Sara which made this possible.
Requirements for the demo application to work is that you must drag and drop 5 columns from excel since the application require 5 columns and column 4 must be number.
