File input from Excel workbooks
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2014 1:19 am
Suggested enhancement to the GUI for the file input filter:
When an input file is an Excel workbook, provide a tick box option to Ignore hidden worksheets.
Another related idea: Provide a tick box option to choose Treat each worksheet as a separate input file.
Each inputFilename for this option would need to be derived from the worksheet name.
I have assumed that for multiple worksheets, the way TextPipe currently works would be to process all the sheets into the same output stream.
I have not tested that this is the case. The help file makes no reference to multiple worksheets in an Excel file. Please clarify.
Best regards,
David
