I work for a catalog company and we would like to see current sales data overlayed on the product image. We have a 450-page catalog with about 2,300 products in it and we woudl like to pull our sales data (excel spreadsheet) and have it update onto the actual catalog page PDF. We may want to update this data from time to time and have these PDFs shared internally.
I know there is a way to tag text in Indesign and have it pull from a spreadsheet, but im not sure the best, easiest way to get this data on the page.
Here is an example of what i an thinking it would look like:
