Automagical Pivot "Table" | |
1. Export your unwieldy xls into csv | |
2. Paste csv into ES6 as example below | |
3. Inspect the JS object returned | |
*/ | |
Example: | |
csv(`Name,ID,Category,USD | |
Alpha,123,Sales,"123,456" | |
Romeo,456,Sales,"123,456,789"`) | |
// NOTE | |
// 1. Backticks allow you to paste with quotes and newlines right away | |
// "Includes" (2 hoisted dependencies) | |
/* | |
┌─┐┌─┐┬ ┬ | |
│ └─┐└┐┌┘ | |
└─┘└─┘ └┘ w10 */ | |
function csv(string){ | |
let [labels, ...data] = | |
string | |
// 2. Only the "123,456,789" special case is handled | |
.replace(/"[\d,]+"/g, n => n.replace(/[",]/g,'')) | |
.split('\n') | |
// 3. YMMV; using naive CSV parsing for simplicity | |
.map(text => text.split(',')); | |
