Making the data available

That may have been the easiest thing I’ve done so far, on this build. Getting a link to the spreadsheet or displaying a range of cells isn’t the difficult part.

What is going to be the challenge is having the most accurate information coming off the Colonel posted both to the very top row (above the header) and as the newest/lowest row in the spreadsheet so I’m not trying to post a link to a moving range of “most current” information. That will be something to look at implementing for Version 2, after I’ve had the chance to read up on and play with JavaScript a little.

The chart functionality I saw built into this site involves manually uploading a CSV file to the site. Not exactly convenient when I’m trying to automate the flow of information as much as possible. As it is, I’m more than happy with what I’m currently able to do with the information I have coming in.

[edit]

It wasn’t obvious from my editing screen, but I was thrilled to see that the embedded spreadsheet isn’t a still image, but can actually be scrolled through, making the most up to date info easily accessible. Huzzah!
