It is only available on Vietnam branch, not in main trunk. There are 2 ways. I can send the code snippet and you paste onto your current data-entry module. The other way is to make a petition to global to include this into trunk.
Actually code is so simple, they all are client sides and very easy to adapt
//COPY AND PASTE THIS SNIPPET TO ANY VM FILE OF THE DATAENTRY MODULE
Step 1. Open Excel sheet, select area and press Ctrl+C <br/>
Step 2. Press Ctr+V to paste to this box: <textarea id='excel_data' onblur='createSourceTable();' onfocus="$(this).val('');"></textarea> <br/>
Step 3. Press this button to transfer data <input type='button' value='Copy' onclick='copyTable();' cols='20' />
<hr/>
<div id='excel_table'></div>
$( "#pasteTableDialog" ).dialog({
width: 850,
height: 750,
autoOpen: false,
modal:true,
title:"COPY FROM EXCEL"
});
function importExcel()
{
$( "#pasteTableDialog" ).dialog('open');
}
function createSourceTable()
{
var data = $('#excel_data').val();
var rows = data.split("\n");
var table = $('');
for(var y in rows)
{
var cells = rows[y].split("\t");
var row = $('');
for(var x in cells) {
row.append('');
}
table.append(row);
}
// build the table from clipboard data
$('#excel_table').html(table);
}
function copyTable()
{
var oSource = $("#excel_table");
var oDest = $("#contentDiv"); //contentDiv is a dhis div
var arrSourceInputs = oSource.find("td");
$('.entryfield').each(function(i){
td = arrSourceInputs[i];
$(this).val(td.innerText);
//trigger change to call saveValue
$(this).change();
});
}
//END OF THE SNIPPET
