That's not a real part for just simple excel import.
That's also not a real scripting part.

How to place functions for big excel imports to cells inside tables?
And i mean not just single cells as also seen in scripting examples with abuse of character styles to get there tagging functionality.

From what i talk here, is a documentation with a lot of external data to import from database or excel sheets. And a lot means here hundreds.

In the nature of that job you can see, there are not targets to prescribe, there must be some possibilities to prescribe the source at each cell or textelement.
And of course some changed data must be refreshed easy without changing the style and design of the document.

Does anyone have done such thing before?
Does anyone have some good new idea, how to do this job?
