Now I want to know what the issue was.
And the “solution”.
I have used Excel to make tags from a table before. Usually just for one off stuff and before I was very familiar with JavaScript.
E.g. if you have a table of 100 urls you could use excel to easily turn them into
atags using the various text formulas like concat.It's probably never the best tool for the job but sometimes I'll do stuff in Excel just because I'm very familiar with it.
To clarify I am not a programmer by trade lol
FWIW many modern text editors just let you modify multiple lines at once.
I like Sublime Text for this.
Watching supposedly technical people use Excel to mangle batch SQL statements together makes me cry.
