---+!! Excel Export and Import
%TOC%
*%RED% This is an alpha version of a potentially dangerous programs%ENDCOLOR%*
---++ Description

Two programs are provided:
   1 topics2excel to convert a set of topic into an Excel sheet
   1 excel2topics to convert an Excel sheet into topics

---+++ topics2excel 

---+++ excel2topics
   * *WARNING*: The =excel2topics= script is a very powerful tool. It can overwrite every topic in your web with a new version. Be careful what you are doing with this program.
   * You can use this tool to import topics that do not have a form attached to them at all. Just create a Excel sheet with a TEXT and a TOPIC column. The TEXT column contains the raw text of the topic while the TOPIC column contains the topic name.

---++ How it works
   1 Export by clicking [[%SCRIPTURL{"topics2excel"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%][here]]
   1 Edit the Excel file
   1 Attach the Excel file to this topic with the name "<nop>%UPLOADFILE%"
   1 Import by clicking [[%SCRIPTURL{"excel2topics"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%][here]]
   1 Check for the issues in the IssueTracker
