I also don't want to save it in database.

This is mostly related to python and not Odoo. If you just google, you will get lots of options and code to read the data from excel.

For the input, create a wizard and add a binary field in which you can load the excel file, and then using any python library, you can read the data from that excel.

Can you be more specific about odoo part?

You need to create a wizard and a binary field to take the file as an input and then using python lib, read the data from the file.

Instead of coding I have started using android productivity office apps. Microsoft 365 is the best solution.

Hi,

To load an excel file and read its data and to create record inside the odoo database, you can refer this module, which creates chart of account from excel. See this: Import Chart of Accounts from CSV or Excel File

Relevant part of the code, that reads data from excel.

try:
fp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False, suffix=".xlsx")
fp.write(binascii.a2b_base64(self.File_slect))
fp.seek(0)
values = {}
workbook = xlrd.open_workbook(fp.name)
sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0)
except:
raise Warning(_("Invalid file!"))

for row_no in range(sheet.nrows):
val = {}
if row_no <= 0:
fields = map(lambda row: row.value.encode('utf-8'), sheet.row(row_no))
else:

line = list(map(lambda row: isinstance(row.value, bytes) and row.value.encode('utf-8') or str(row.value),
sheet.row(row_no)))

values.update({'code': line[0],
'name': line[1],
'user': line[2],
'tax': line[3],
'tag': line[4],
'group': line[5],
'currency': line[6],
'reconcile': line[7],
'deprecat': line[8],
})

res = self.create_chart_accounts(values)

Thanks
