Button To Put Uploaded Spreadsheet Into Import Page

Hello,

Looking for some guidance to see if it is possible to take an uploaded spreadsheet (xls, xlsx) and insert it into an import pop-up for another table?

I have a simple table that allows the user to upload a spreasheet called document repository. It is just a place to hold files for all to use and share. What I would like to do is click the record of an uploaded spreadsheet (check box) and create a button that will open up a pop-up of the import page of another table that will put that spreadsheet into the import page to import the data from the spreadsheet.

Is this possible? Right now I have to download the spreasheet from the document repository and then open up the import pop-up to import the data. I was just looking for a more efficient way to do the import.

TIA,

Brian

While this should be possible in general there is no API for this task and no examples. Import function is meant to be interactive meaning that user needs to select the file once they are on the import page.
