I have an existing app that is published. I want to add a function to the app that basically operates similar to those fuel mileage calculators. I want to be able to add data in several fields and have a way for it to process that saved information. Is this something that I need a custom plug in for or is there a way to import an excel sheet that does the same thing? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

But make sure you test it to make sure it works. You could also create a PHP script somewhere, then connect to it via an Custom URL link, and process the info that way. Or, you could create a new, native plugin, and do it that way. If I were doing it...with my knowledge...I'd create an HTML form, using the Custom HTML plugin, and then have a backend PHP script process the results.
