    Man, I am a fulltime student but part time working as a data entry and the work I have to do weighs nearly a million data and it lags every time I run that shit excel file until I found this Video!!!
    I learnt frontend web dev and a little about node js. And boom! I found this video and now I can just spend too little time on my shitty work and focus on my real career improvement!
    Thank you brother!

    Wow wow, for a non-pro coder "yet" this is the first video on youtube that made me feel coding isn't only an endeavour of the genius. BTW do you have a course on udemy? Thanks for your insight, this opens up another level of understanding for me. What you did here, I usually do using macros on excel.

    Let me know!
    Ps: As that excel workbook in onedrive is always refreshed, the idea is to have the googlesheet updated.

      You can send the data to your front end using JSON.parse(data, null, 2) and display it inside of a pre tag. To display a single row you would just return the index of the object/row you're trying to render

    • @ExcelGoogleSheets
      @ExcelGoogleSheets  2 роки тому

      Not with this library. To make changes in the same file you'll need Windows with Excel installed and basically hook into VBA code though Python to make changes to the file and save.

    I think reduce instead of map would be better for performance. I work with millions of records and performance is key

    • @xchrisbradley
      @xchrisbradley 5 років тому

      I would also be careful about delete. You should use a reduce function then return a new array with only the keys you want to use. cont updated = data.reduce(record => { return {record.net: record.Sales - record.Cost, record.Brand, so on...} })

    • @ExcelGoogleSheets
      @ExcelGoogleSheets  5 років тому

      Can you explain why reduce would have any preformance benefits in this case? I'm not summing up a column, I'm iterating row by row and get a result for each row.

      has nothing to do with angular. that usually means that data at that point was not populated with an array.
