I will describe the basis in python to import xlsx file and how to handle the imported data, in this exemple sales orders is imported. Uploaded file is stored in the variable upload_file and is encoded in base 64, to read it we have to decode first the data by using b64decode function, then save it, for me i chose “/tmp” folder. Result import_data is an array of dictionary as follow [{‘column_name_1’:data_column_1_row_1, ‘column_name_2’:data_column_2_row_1,…},{‘column_name_1’:data_column_1_row_2, ‘column_name_2’:data_column_2_row_2,…},…] Bellow XML view for the importation module.

Create under your module a folder controller, in that folder create files controller.py and __init__.py and link your new file in __init__.py, don’t forget to add controller folder in the __init__.py at the root folder of your module. controller.py code bellow will make available the URL www.myodoo.com/page/random/random_variable, random_variable value will be stored in values dictionary on key variable. in folder view of your module create the file template.xml
