How to Upload and Parse an Excel File to Save Data in Firebase and Display It in FlutterFlow?

Database & APIs

Hello FlutterFlow Community,

I am working on a FlutterFlow mobile app and need some guidance on implementing a specific functionality. Here’s the scenario:

  1. A user uploads an Excel file containing details of farmers.

  2. The app reads and parses the Excel file.

  3. Extracted data from the file needs to be saved into Firebase Firestore.

  4. Finally, the app should display this data on a dedicated data page.

I am currently using FlutterFlow integrated with Firebase. I don’t need to save the actual Excel file, just the content. Could someone guide me on how to achieve this?

Here are the steps I’m considering:

  • Use a file picker to upload the Excel file.

  • Parse the Excel file to extract the data.

  • Save the extracted data into Firebase Firestore.

  • Retrieve and display the data in a FlutterFlow data page.

If anyone has experience with this or can provide code snippets and steps to implement this functionality, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
