Thanks Dan! My idea was to go through a long imported table and quickly categorize the different rows into a number of predefined categories, without having to actually type the category for each row. Can I do that?
If babel is a way, I think I would prefer to use python as I am familiar with it. But I have not used it with babel, is that possible?
