 * Hi Tobias,
    great job this plugin. Following a question to ask for a workaround
   about TablePress. I collect data daily in some paper table-sheets (one site-one
   table), then I insert data in some web pages when I come back at home: the data
   are recorded in a single table (one day is one record of the table, the next 
   day is the next record, and so on, for each site, for each table). TablePress
   is perfect to show data on web page. But I’d like improve my filling activity
   of the tables, if possible writing data directly into the tables (not from backend
   area in wordpress) maybe through a data upload mask with a smartphone/tablet 
   or small-pc. Can you suggest a workaround to use correctly TablePress to do this
   data collecting more simply? For example, connecting an example of upload mask
   to TablePress. Thank you a lot, Francesco

 * Maybe You could scan Your paper document by scanner or smartphone and some OCR
   application (like Fine Reader) and it will be converted to .xls file (Excell).
   
   Then You can import this file to the TablePress and Your table will be created
   automatically.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * No, sorry, unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you here. Something like is
   not possible with TablePress. It only supports editing tables from its admin 
   screens at this time.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thank you jurado and TobiasBg for your support.
    I have to adapt TablePress to
   my needs, then I’ll organize this job with as following:a light tablet internet-
   connected by data-SIM + a new WordPress account into the web site + a TablePress
   already well organized (without mask) in the web page. In this way, I can write
   manually data and send it directly on the web page. Furthermore, this solution
   allows to see the data of the previous records (previous days) during the manual
   input (this can help). I’ll find a solution to generate graphs from data in TablePress
   Kind regards. Francesco
