XLSX Import Tool - Documentation & Example

[stevesuny]

Hi folks, as part of the class I teach where we use TiddlyWiki to design and write interactive text -- there is an open class at DesignWriteStudio -- I've developed some documentation and examples for using the xlsx import tool.

This tool, currently in the 5.1.14 pre-release version, does amazing things. For example, using the importhtml function in google sheets, it is straightforward to import any table from the Web (Wikipedia...) and make a nicely interactive front-end.

If you're interested, check out the tutorial. Let me know if it works, or if it could be improved. Thanks!

Really, it's a plugin, not a tool :)

Hi, Steve,

cool tool. 

At the moment I've got a couple of questions:

1. Is this tool associated specificly with updog.co?
2. Would it considered to provide with inverse operation: export from TW to XLSX?
3. Ideally it would be great to obtain controllable sync between TW and Google Spreadsheet directly. What about that?

Sincerely,

Olegh

Thanks for the questions. I am the evangelist for this tool; Jeremy built it as a plugin. Note it requires the pre-release 5.1.14 version of TW.

No. I am using updog as a host : any google drive or dropbox folder can be registered with updog.co and can serve a wiki using https://updogsitename.updog.co/wikiname.html, with all of the auto-sync features of google drive / dropbox.

 

1. Would it considered to provide with inverse operation: export from TW to XLSX?

No, not at all. Though the export-to-json or export-to-csv on advanced search, via a filter collection, provides this functionality.

1. Ideally it would be great to obtain controllable sync between TW and Google Spreadsheet directly. What about that?

I would agree. Hope that happens. There is some chatter about this on the group; haven't kept up with it for a few months tho.
