Import from Quotes Collection Plugin

Hi Blurazor,
I am unfamiliar with the format of the Quotes Collection quote file. This type of integration is not something the Quotes Llama plugin is intended to provide. However, it shouldn’t be too difficult if you are familiar with spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Open Office’s Calc which is free if you don’t have one.

The idea being for example and something along the line of:
1.. import both files data into separate sheets.
2.. Figure out how to map the data (likely the VLookup function) into a third sheet.
3.. Export third sheet into importable quote file format such as .csv.

I’ve not tried these solutions and don’t know exactly how to do it myself without spending time researching and refreshing my VLookUp skills.

Do try to figure it out yourself and if you cannot, provide a link where I can grab a copy of both the quotes files and I’ll give it a shot. Let me know.

@oooorgle Thanks for your suggestion. I may give your method a go though I’m not familiar with the VLookup function. Cheers.

Any luck getting the quotes sorted out?

You can export from Quotes Collection to json format and import into Quotes Llama. I did it and it was a smooth process. However categories don’t import.

Quotes Llama doesn’t have that feature which would be a good addition.
