Hi,

I'd export the data to CSV (which is easier to parse), create a Django Command (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/custom-management-commands/#module-django.core.management) that will open the CSV and then add the records.

I think you use the library xlrd to extract data from the Excel file.
The documentation for the library can be found here at
http://xlrd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .

Hi, there are few ways to do that, both represented in previous posts.

Simpler one is to export data as CSV since it's simpler to read in Python (Python has built-in CSV reader/writer)

Complex one is to use some library to read Excel files directly. See https://www.datacamp.com/community/tutorials/python-excel-tutorial  for more information.

With anycase, use Django (model) form to put data there - it makes sure that data is valid and is converted format that is suitable for Django. It also eliminates checks of malicious people doing malicious stuff to your system.

And finaly, save the data. Repeat for all data chunks and you're done. It's really that simple.
