Short term: I’m trying to automate transcribing a list from:
A
123
234
B
456
567
789
C
345
Into an array/table
123, A
234, A
456, B
567, B
789, B
345, C
Long term answer I’m looking for: where’s a lemmy community I can ask questions like this (like about using formulas in Librecalc/Onlyoffice suite/maybe VBA with them too) in the future?
Or, if not yet established on lemmy, recommended librecalc/Onlyoffice forums?
Thank you for your time.
A spreadsheet is always going to be a bad fit for a problem like this. You want something like the command line tools sed and awk (maybe combined with some simple regex) to parse a stream of input like this. These tools were literally built to solve this kind of problem. If you are stuck in windows, the Windows Subsystem for Linux will have these tools.
