1) I could easily paste like that (most of my data is large and too big to be pasted)
2) Since the data I have has been collected under a Privacy Policy, I can't upload it to other sites.
But for small jobs of flipping things around, this is a cool app.
This is largely a technology demo, but we think it's pretty neat. Curious if anyone here has thoughts about where to take this from here. And yes, using SSN as the example was probably a poor choice - the example is from http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2007/11/12/manipulating-... . Tip of the hat to LAPIS/Potluck/MassEdit from CSAIL for getting us thinking in this direction.
An undo button would be neat in case I accidentally type-in rather than cut-paste, then end up losing what I manually deleted. (I didn't read the instructions, as you can tell!)
Cool stuff but I wish I had data that: 1) I could easily paste like that (most of my data is large and too big to be pasted) 2) Since the data I have has been collected under a Privacy Policy, I can't upload it to other sites. But for small jobs of flipping things around, this is a cool app.
1. the icons that appear under a column when you're editing it should have tooltips so you can see what they mean
2. there should be an undo function
3. it should be able to figure what you mean if you retype as upper-case rather than using the buttons. (Perhaps asking the user "do you want to put it in uppercase"). This is not exactly hard to code, e.g.
if (toUpper(originalField) == editedField) assumeUserWantsUppercase();No one is going to watch your tutorial video if you tell no one what's about your website first.
I think it's a very handy application, and nice presentation. Just curious though, why does it have to be a web app? Why not just a plugin to my favorite spreadsheet application, or just a small standalone app that I can use on my PC..
Really cool. I've been waiting for an easy to use spreadsheet app that would let me do this for a while without having to figure out formulas or vbscript. This looks useful and I'll definitely use it as needed in the future. What's your business model for this? Are you just doing advertising or are you also offering a rush fee or maybe charging extra for files over 5MB or something?
