Create an App from a Spreadsheet (Free & Fast with Oracle APEX)

· 5 min read

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to transform a basic spreadsheet into a beautiful analytical user interface using Oracle APEX — all without writing a single line of code.



🎯 What You'll Learn​


  1. How to import a spreadsheet into Oracle APEX
  2. Automatically generate an app with dashboards, reports, and search
  3. Explore and extend the app visually with no-code tools
  4. Compare with alternatives like PowerApps and AppSheet

🧰 Prerequisites​


  1. An Oracle APEX workspace (free-tier OK)
  2. Sample customer sales CSV (Download and use as sample data)

🔧 Step 1: Load Your Spreadsheet​


  1. Login to your Oracle APEX workspace
  2. Go to App Builder → Create a New App
  3. Choose "Create App from a File"
  4. Upload customer_sales_workbook.csv or drag & drop
  5. Set table name to: CUSTOMER_SALES_DATA
  6. Click Load Data and verify 427 rows were imported

💡 APEX supports CSV, XLSX, JSON, XML — or direct copy/paste!

🚀 Step 2: Generate the App​


After loading the spreadsheet:


  1. Click View Table
  2. In Object Browser → click More → Create App
  3. Enter App Name: CUSTOMER_SALES
  4. Upload a custom app icon (optional)
  5. Rename pages like:
    1. Customer Sales Report
    2. Customer Sales Search
  6. Enable Progressive Web App (PWA) support
  7. Click Create Application

🌐 Step 3: Run & Explore the App​


Click Run Application, login with your workspace credentials.


Then try:


  1. 📊 Dashboard: View charts from your spreadsheet data
  2. 🔍 Faceted Search: Interactively filter your high school data
  3. 📑 Interactive Report: Click Edit to see form-based views

🎨 The app uses Dark Mode (from APEX 24.2) by default

🧪 Bonus: What's Happening Behind the Scenes?​


  1. A new table CUSTOMER_SALES_DATA was created in Oracle DB
  2. APEX auto-generated reports, dashboards, forms, and filters
  3. You can enhance it further with REST APIs, plugins, and maps

✅ Pros & ❌ Cons of Using Oracle APEX on OCI​


  1. Very simple to generate a web interface
  2. Free tier is as good as free
  3. Supports external APIs (e.g., PostgreSQL)
  4. Integrates with Okta and other OAuth tools

Comparison Dimensions


This radar chart shows a visual comparison of Oracle APEX and other popular low-code platforms across the following categories:


  1. Web UI Builder: Ability to create modern user interfaces with little to no code.
  2. SQL Integration: Strength of database integration and native SQL support.
  3. Enterprise Ready: Capability to support large-scale, production-ready applications.
  4. Auth/Security: Built-in support for authentication, authorization, and access controls.
  5. Mobile Support: Native or responsive support for mobile form factors.

🧠 Key Takeaways​


  1. 🏆 Oracle APEX leads in SQL integration and enterprise readiness, thanks to its deep database roots and mature security architecture.
  2. ⚖️ Azure Power Apps offers solid enterprise and UI capabilities, but limited SQL depth.
  3. 📊 Google AppSheet is great for mobile and sheet-based apps, but lacks SQL-first design.
  4. 🧩 AWS Honeycode and Mendix vary in feature sets, but trail in native SQL and enterprise scalability.

📝 Why It Matters​


Choosing the right low-code platform depends on your goals:


  1. For data-heavy internal apps, APEX stands out.
  2. For simple workflows or quick prototypes, AppSheet and Power Apps may suffice.
  3. For cross-cloud flexibility or open standards, Mendix is worth exploring.
