Excel data -> Grasshopper -> upload Shapediver

Hey,

is it possible to upload excel data to grasshopper with a plugin that is supported by shapediver, so to upload it afterwars on shapediver?

Are there alternatives to generate data transfer between excel sheet and grasshopper and being able to upload the gh-file on shapediver?

Thanks in advance!

Check out CSV or JSON terms in web search. You can simply import text file into definition and work with it.

I would focus in JSON way especially with great JSwan plug-in (compatible with ShapeDiver) from Food4rhino. It allows you to work with data structure in human readable way.

Cheers

Agreed with @DanielK1. Importing and exporting CSV will be the best approach for you for the time being. There are Grasshopper plugins for reading/writing excel files, but none support input from or output to streams. Therefore, they are not supported on ShapeDiver. We might develop such a plugin ourselves, but currently this is not on our roadmap.
