Thanks a lot! I tried to do this, but using the table, as in the instructions, it did not work, I will experiment a little later. But for myself, I made a solution (simplified here) like this that works:

It seems you were talking about the frontend? I was talking about the backend ?.

Hi @kongondo,
sorry if this is been answered before.

I know it's possibile to upload/paste a CSV to populate row and columns of the matrix, but is it possibile to skip row and columns definition upfront (via selector, etc.) and define them via the CSV itself?

I am asking this because I'd like to render on the frontend different tables whom have unique rows/columns definition.

I don't understand the question I am afraid. However, you cannot define anything inside the CSV.

Are you talking about different tables from different pages or different tables from a single matrix on a single page?

I'd like to have a single matrix field (yours) inside a RepeaterMatrix (pro-field). For each matrix(yours) I'd like to be able to upload/paste csv definitions and render a table accordingly.
Every csv might have different colums/row numbers and definitions.

I see.

Have you tried with the Custom PHP Code options? I haven't touched this in a while but (in my head) it seems like it is doable.

Nope. I'm just investigating upfront because I'm close to start a new project and yours matrix fieldtype looks like a good candidate.
Any advice on how to start with Custom PHP Code to do what I'm after? Thanks ?

Just think ProcessWire page reference fields ?.

Use custom PHP code to return row/column pages. If used, this method overrides method #1 above. This allows you to specify valid PHP code to find pages for the matrix rows and/or columns. The PHP statement has access to the $page and $pages API variables, where $page refers to the page being edited. The snippet should only return a Page or PageArray. If it returns a Page, children of that Page are used as column pages.

There is an option to import data from a CSV into a Matrix Fieldtype for each page. Is there a way to import data for a template with Matrix Fieldtype involving many pages using ImportPagesCSV?

Hi @kongondo,

many thanks for you work/module. In a current project this would become very handy to use.

My problem probably sits between my eyes,- i managed to define pages for rows and columns (s. Screenshot). But when i enter values/data in the matrix fields and save the page, no data is saved, e.g. i get blank matrix fields on page revisit.

Tracy spits out following warnings:

- Latest Matrix module version
- PW 3.0.221 dev
- PHP 8.0.27

Any idea what goes wrong here?

Thx and regards
Olaf

P.S. I wonder if the admin view should be look like in the screenshot above? Seems a bit broken to me (s. Import/Export row), because it differs from other module screenshots i have seen.
