Excel Table Data on Digital Signage
Put your Microsoft Excel data on every screen, exactly as it looks in your file. The Excel Table Data app connects to your Microsoft 365 Excel and renders your tables on screen with their cell colours, formatting, and layout intact.
When your data changes in Excel, your screens follow. No copy-paste, no exports, no reformatting. Working in charts instead? See the Excel Charts app.
A Spreadsheet on One Laptop Doesn’t Reach the Floor
The numbers that should drive the day are already in Excel: production KPIs, quality logs, shift plans. But they sit in a file on one person’s laptop or in OneDrive, and the frontline teams who need them never open it. The usual workaround, screenshotting the sheet into slides or retyping it onto a board, is manual and goes stale the moment someone edits the file.
Valotalive removes that step. Point your digital signage software at the Excel file and the live data appears on screen, formatted the way you built it.
What You Can Do with Microsoft Excel on Valotalive
See your spreadsheet exactly as it looks
- Cell colours, fills, and formatting render natively on screen. True what-you-see-is-what-you-get.
- Status colour-coding carries across: red for an issue, green for on target, readable from across the floor.
- Header rows and columns stay bold, and empty, hidden, and error cells are cleaned up automatically.
- Keep the column widths from your file, or size them to fit the screen.
Show only the part that matters
- Pick a whole sheet, a single cell range, or specific columns.
- Match sheets by name pattern or position, so the right data shows even when sheet names change month to month.
Build one dashboard from several sheets
- Combine several sheets or cell ranges into a single view, shown together on one screen.
- Control the layout: set how many columns the grid uses, or stack the ranges horizontally or vertically.
- Give each view its own heading, so the screen labels what people are looking at.
Keep shift plans and schedules current
- Highlight today marks today’s column in a week or shift plan, and moves automatically at midnight.
- Set how the grid lays out, how long each view stays on screen, and how far small ranges zoom to stay readable.
- The screen refreshes about every 15 minutes, so it keeps pace with the file.
Charts, not tables? The Excel Charts app reads the charts from your Excel file and keeps them live on screen.
