xlsx imports - new demo

[stevesuny]

Hello Folks,

I've had a chance to play more with the xlsx import (available in pre-release) and have build a new demo based on a spreadsheet containing the names of 7000+ world cities, each with their province and country (and some other data). As you'll see in the demo, I use the opportunity to create tiddlers based on cities, provinces and countries, and use the importing tool to establish tags and tiddler fields. It works well. The logic is interesting, and I'll be working on more complex imports over the next few weeks, but wanted to share this with others here:

Comments, please. And, perhaps, share other uses of xlsx import in reply to this thread? I'm interested to see different ways of interpreting spreadsheets in TiddlyWiki.

Enjoy!

ciao Steve

its great to see that. thank you.

the BIG QUESTION I have is  how well TiddlyWiki can cope with HUGE datasets. (Not so much a TW limitation as browser performance issues).

It seems to me there are two facets to this ...

1 - sheer data VOLUME

2 - role of active DYNAMISM in performance

Its great to see an example at decent scale like this to begin to address those questions.

Best wishes
Josiah
