Hints for spreadsheet software

If you have your data table in Open Office Calc, Excel, or some other software, you can use these formulas to convert tables into Table2Base code. This example is for Excel, other software may have slightly different syntax. Here, the data is in the spreadsheet in columns A...D. Columns A...C contain index values and column D observations. The first row contains index names and rows starting from row 2 contain data.

Formula for the first row
="<tb2 index="&CHAR(34)&A1&","&B1&","&C1&CHAR(34)&" unit="&CHAR(34)&"kg"&CHAR(34)&" obs="&CHAR(34)&D1&CHAR(34)&">"
Formula for the second row and beyond
=A2&"|"&B2&"|"&C2&"|"&D2
