    My initial idea would be do this with MIGX. Export your Excel into JSON format then import the new data every week into MIGX.

    Or you could use ImportX to import CSV data:

        Data will be simple notification type. title "Product 1" , "Product 2" , "Product 3" will not have link to the product page.

          If you don't want to make new resources from them then, I suggest using MIGX.

            Thanks Dan.. Thank you So much. Just want to make sure, using MIGX I have to convert my CSV or excel data to JSON using any tool. Right?

              Yes, there are numerous CSV to JSON tools if you Google them and a few Excel to JSON plugins.

                with some little tricks it should be possible to have a import csv - button above the MIGX-grid, which could open a modal-window with a textarea, where you can paste the csv-code and import it as json for MIGX or have an upload-button for uploading a csv-file and importing it at the same time into the MIGX-grid.
                  -------------------------------

                  you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

                  But it is also possible to list your products directly from csv-file with a small script, if you don't need to edit the datas after importing them.

                      Hello,
                      If you are not familiar with php or Json or just dont want to develop a script to get your excel data, the easiest way to display an excel file onto a web page, is to use skydrive from Microsoft, where you can put your excel files to share and then copy/paste the code they will give you to include the excel file into your web page. This is using an iframe, with the advantages and drawbacks of an iframe ...
