Thank you for the excel-to-json application link. It did convert my Excel 
spreadsheet to something that looks somewhat like the Jason Babel used to 
give me,  Unfortunately, however, Exhibit will not display this data.

If I knew how to replace the following script in STABLE it would help a lot.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var rowStyler = function (item, database, tr) {
        var TimesPerf = database.getObject(item, "TimesPerf");
        var BackColor = "white";
        var ForeColor = "black";
        switch (TimesPerf) {
            case 0: BackColor = "#CCCCCC"; ForeColor = "white"; break;
        }
        tr.style.background = BackColor;
        tr.style.color = ForeColor;
    };
    </script>
