s10ryan Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I am building bar to show the daily goal and what they are at all through the day.I am basing it pretty much of this one: http://www.wynia.org/wordpress/2005/10/06/css-and-html-goal-meter/The data that i want to pull from is on an Excel spreadsheet that is updated through out the day and also gets data off of mulitple other excel files. I just need to pull one # off that spread sheet and put it so it will automatically update the barchart.If im not mistaken there is a string i can enter to pull from the excel spreadsheet field, am i correct?If not would it be easier to make a little page where the management could enter a number and it directly update the barchart??Any suggestions will be helpful..ill check this as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest docseussman Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I don't believe that PHP has any native functions for 'simply' reading an Excel file, maybe as a COM or ODBC object, not sure. If if were my problem I would probably approch this situation from another direction like using Excel's ability to save a page as XML data, PHP is readily able to read and parse an XML file. My 2 cents,Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
