Best Way to View Excel and CSV inside a Bubble page

Need help

Using BetterUploader/BetterViewer to view PDF files. But I’d like to be able to also view xls and csv files. Any suggestions?

Hey @robert BetterViewer is really only meant for PDFs, so that part is expected. It won’t properly preview Excel or CSV files.

The easiest workaround is to convert XLS or CSV files to PDF first (using something like Make, Zapier, or CloudConvert) and then show them in BetterViewer. If it’s a CSV and you actually need to show the data, it’s usually better to parse it and display it in a repeating group instead. Otherwise, just allow users to download Excel/CSV files rather than trying to preview them inside the app.

@robert Using Make or Zapier will drasticly increase your cost i suggest, use AI to build you script which fetch the csv or excel file and visulize it, try it with gpt or gemeni.

upload a file into you database, use it url to visulize the file , once you like it the way you wanted, then ask ai to make it as a frame, then put the scirpt into HTML element.

vallha :wink:

if you like i will build you a scirpt via AI you can use.
