Is there K2 service/process that can be used to read an attachment file into a grid/table? I know this can be done in asp.net but I am looking for a way to do it with K2. The attachment file would be a csv or excel which ever is easiest for K2 to read. I want to some how do a bulk entry into a smartobject and then do validations on the entires. Can this be done using a workflow?

Thanks Julia for the information. I looked into it but I am struggeling in understanding how to use the functions to pull the data from an excel file into a smartobject or directly into a sql table. Do you know of any documentation or example that can provide a little more clarification.
Thanks again for the help.

Hi Julia,
Based on your link, there is a requirement to use sharepoint to save the file.
However, if I am not using sharepoint.
Can i still be able to read the excel/CSV file data via a smartform(SQL Stored procedure) if i store the file in a physical location or table?
For example, i stored the excel/CSV file into a table using this method by Johan.

Or I used a view which allow my user upload an attachment file.
How can i read and store the excel/CSV file data via smartform or SQL query to validate and store the data into a SQL table
Regards
