Folks,

I'm trying to experiment with the xlsx-utils plugin from the xlsx edition of Tiddlywiki (https://tiddlywiki.com/editions/xlsx-utils/). It seems pretty straight forward to use, but I'm having trouble just getting the demo to work.

I follow the instructions explicitly, but I keep getting the red screen of death with the following message:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getTiddlerText' of undefined

I have the import specification selected and I have not modified anything in any way. What am I missing?

Just bumping this up to the top in case it was missed. 

I have a spreadsheet that I'd like to import, but I can't even get the demo to work (see original message).

Any suggestions would be helpful.

The xlsx utils is a fantastic and sophisticated tool. I have not seen it getting any updates of late. Depending on the content of your spreadsheet you may want to consider exporting as csv and importing it on a wiki with the JSON mangler installed. You can then review it as a table and import the rows as tiddlers automatically packaged into a plugin.

Personally I have a separate wiki for manipulating data then drop it on the target wiki.

Interesting idea. Thanks. I’ll have to check that out.

Try using the prerelease of TW 5.1.24 to do your import.
It has a bug fix for the xlsx plugin:
