The way a new feature is added (when we don't understand 100% of what the feature is supposed to do), is the new feature request must be completely spelled out by the requester. 

What is the intended end result? 

We need step by step instructions like a blueprint on what the function of the new feature will perform. 

Most of the time we know what the user wants. But when we don't know, we need guidance.

I sent you a sample Excel spreadsheet.

Did you check it?

And I already answered your questions.

I aim to make this new feature like magic for users.

Who created the Excel spreadsheet? Where did it come from?

What do you want us to do with it?

Who is going to populate the data fields?

Are you referring that you want Footprint Expert should support this spreadsheet?

This looks like Altium. Footprint Expert interfaces to 25 CAD tools.

Cadence Allegro/OrCAD and Siemens Xpedition/PADS users are our top tier customer base.

How do Cadence and Siemens users benefit from this new feature request?

It seems that this request is an entire new product line and you’re not providing sufficient information to create it. No Step-by-Step instructions. No blueprint on how this is supposed to work.

We have no clue in what new feature you are asking for. It almost seems counter productive to Footprint Expert Calculators.

Tom
 i have sent an image, and xls file,
idea already found in Altium tool in creation footprint,
my idea simply to apply like it in pcb tool
i who make xls file, if you open it you will find features as ones in your pcb tool, 
just instead user fill cell by cell in interface, user will fill xls, and tool create fpx row for it
all users will use it not Altium user
i hope i reply your questions and hope also you consider this option
create fpx by template 
i have did that xls, and image based on your request
