Looking for a spreadsheet that accepts ged
« on: Saturday 12 May 18 03:07 BST (UK) »
I don't have any experience is setting up a spreadsheet.

What I'm looking for is one that will accept data from a gedcom file.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

A *.ged file is a simple text file, nothing exciting :D. If you rename it with a '.txt' extension you can open it directly in LibreOffice[1].

You can play with the import options when opening it; if you choose the 'fixed width' option, all your data will be listed in column A (you might need to resize the column to see it all).
