Hello BHW members

I am looking for help.

Any WP plugin or method by which I can accomplish the following...

I'll populate excel with all the details like name, email, address.
Now I want to store this data on the backend in a WP table (Ninja Table) or even in the Database itself.
Then I want to display each cell on its specific location in a post using the shortcode.

Let's assume, the first row contains all the data of XYZ,
Now I want to display XYZ's name, email, address, phone number on their specific positions on a post in WP. The frontend will not show data in tabular format.

I want to duplicate the post and just change the shortcode to display the data of the second row and so on.

I can do this via Directory plugins but they do not offer customization and will slow the website.

Thanks in advance.
 
With some more research, I got the solution.

If it helps anyone, both ninja table and tablepress allows you to show single cell content via shortcode.


Code:
https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/
https://wpmanageninja.com/docs/ninja-tables/miscellaneous/advance-shortcode-usage/
 
So <table> tags don't work for you anymore? ;)
 
I am storing the data to the backend table (via tablepress)
and then using the below function to show the data on the front end. This should make the management of data very easy.
Here's the function that works with tablepress

Code:
[table-cell id=123 row=3 column=3 /]

This shortcode will output the data from row 3 and column 3 from table 123

Note: You need the tablepress's table cell shortcode extension for this code to work.
