Hi everyone,
I helped our Finance team move their log and deposits sheets from Excel to Obsidian bases. My pitch for Obsidian before Bases existed didn’t work out but one day earlier this year I remembered they exist after I still got requests to find a multiplayer solution for Excel, with Proton Drive being considered unacceptable. The ability to link to scanned documents helped seal the deal.
Anyway, after several hours, I had Claude Opus 4.6 vibe code a HTML/JS/CSS web app that exports each row of a CSV file into multiple Markdown files with the headings as frontmatter properties and the other cells as values that you can place into your Obsidian Vault.
Here are the links to the Repo and Netlify-hosted web app.
Another thing that helped is finding the Base formula equivalent of XLOOKUP in Excel, so that the Accounts files could be referenced for the bank name and account holder name.
Example for single word properties:
file1property.asFile().properties.file2property
Example for properties with spaces and symbols in their name:
note["Something Useful"].asFile().properties["A - B"]
Please let me know if you have any questions!
