Automating table formatting in a spreadsheet program
« on: December 07, 2007, 05:14:59 PM »
Here's a very short explanation with an example spreadsheet you can download  8) : Basically you use the Excel function CONCATENATE( ) to create your marked-up content in a spare column.

If you were to download the spreadsheet template attached below and copy and paste the marked-up column into a post you'd get this:

Disk & Track    Song    Position/Tuning    Pitch   
1.1    Dying Blues     C    X   
1.2    Ashley St Blues     C    X

So you are assuming I know how to do more in Excel than type in numbers and click autosum.  :D

I downloaded the file but don't know how I would apply it my file Blind Blake file for example. What do I enter or manipulate with the CONCATENATE function to create the marked up text? And how do I do it?

Here's the briefest I can get: send me the spreadsheet and when it returns all will be clear. Or not!  O0
