Factual Questions

Oh all knowledgable and highly talented designers of the dope.

I need some help please.

The magazine that I work with publishes a monthly price guide. This has a number of specifications (power, torque, engine etc) that pretty much remain static across more than 300 individual listings.

HOWEVER, the price changes every month.

I am able to get reasonably accurate pricing delivered to me in an excel spreadsheet.

Is there anyway to quickly and easily merge this to an indesign file that is suitable for print publication (currently doing manual updates, which is time consuming, wearying and invariably inaccurate)

If other software can be used please do also suggest…

Many thanks

Thanks, will check it out.

Do you happen to know of anything that works with indesign?

ETA - WHOOPS, I see indesign is Adobe (can you tell I’m a suit and not a creative?)

Well, ditch the suit and start wearing black jeans to work.
