Now we use an in-house developed Android app that loads data into a SQL database, but is still read via the dashboard. Hope this helps.
That actually helps a lot. And here I am trying to over complicate things again with HTML and such. So did you have to re download the excel data every time or would you just be able to refresh if you have the Google drive installed?
