Table in columns

I need suggestions, please.

 

How does one create the table in the attached PDF from the data in the attached spreadsheet?

 

 

I planned on using a XDF file to drive the data into the tables.

 

The spreadsheet could be 100-1000 or more records, resulting in a multipage book.

 

 

Note the data is flowing in columns (not rows) on the PDF.

 

 

The bottom half of the PDF should be the next 6 records (not repeated like it shows in the example)

 

How do I get the "rows" on the spreadsheet into run in groups of 6 columns:

rows 1-6 on the top, rows 6-12 on the bottom.

 

 

The images, I think using an using external path to pull images into individual graphic frames above the table will work. The images do not have to be included in the table.

I got this to work with the following OnRecordStart rule:

if (FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber != 1)
   FusionPro.Composition.composeThisRecord = false;

var data = new ExternalDataFileEx(PrimaryInputFile());
var numModels = Math.min(6, data.recordCount);
var numProps = data.fieldCount;

var table = new FPTable();
table.AddColumn(14000);
for (var c = 0; c < numModels; c++)
   table.AddColumn(6700);

for (var r = 0; r < numProps; r++)
{
   var row = table.AddRow();

   for (var c = 0; c <= numModels; c++)
   {
       var cell = row.Cells[c];
       cell.Content = TaggedTextFromRaw(data.GetFieldValue(c, r - 1));
       if (r == 0)
           cell.Content = c ? '<graphic file="' + data.GetFieldValue(c, "Image URL") + '" width=3500>' : "";
       cell.SetBorders("Thin", "Black", "Top", "Bottom", "Left", "Right");
       cell.Margins = {Top:10, Bottom:10, Left:20, Right:20};
       cell.HAlign = c ? "Center" : "Right";
       //cell.VAlign = "Middle";
       cell.Bold = c == 0 || r == 1;
   }
}

var result = table.MakeTags();
FusionPro.Composition.AddVariable("table", result, true);
return result;

I inserted the variable "table" into a text frame in 8-point text.

 

You'll have to make some adjustments to get exactly what you want, but that should get you started.
