I am self-taught, and have a soccer team website ()>. I would like to be able to populate individual players' statistics/bios for each player on the "statistics" page AND make it easily updatable. In a perfect world, I would set up a template that has a layout like this:
but which is populated from data stored in an excel spreadsheet like this:
My excel spreadsheet includes formulas, so comprehensively updating it each week only takes a few keystrokes. Thus, if possible, I'd rather not have to convert my excel spreadsheet to HTML. I want seamless, 1- or 2-step updating.
I am a real novice with .php, so I was hoping that there was a plug-in that would help me do this easily. A video tutorial would be a bonus. I'll spend the time to learn if this is doable.
Any pointers/advice would be appreciated! If what I'm trying to do is unnecessarily complicated or the wrong way to do it, please let me know.
I just added the"Custom Fields" plug-in, but did not want to learn how to use it if my end result wouldn't pull from excel. Is that the right tool? Is there something even better?
