Add xlsx format option to pedigree upload
This would be very helpful! Explaining to staff the difference between an "Excel file" and a tab-delimited file can be very difficult. Also would improve user experience to have a consistent file type for uploads. I believe this is one of the few tab-delimited uploads left in the system.
@ch728 I will change priority for this ticket to high. Hopefully I can start working on it early next week.
@titima15 Have you started working on this? If not, I've started working on a Generic Data File Parser that would support csv, tab-delimited, and excel files that could be used for the different file uploads.
@dwaring87 Yes, I'm working on it and it's almost done. However, If you are going to finish that File Parser soon. We can use that for pedigrees as well.
@titima15 Sorry, I should have started this sooner! The file parser is working now, I've just updated the locations upload as an example (in the topic/generic_file_parser branch). Would you like me to convert the pedigree upload to this or would you like to give it a try?
@dwaring87 No problem. Yes, I would like to give it a try. I will be traveling Monday and Tuesday. I will take a look after I get back. Thanks.
@titima15 Great, here is the Location upload I just converted if you want to use that as an example. Let me know if you have any questions using it.
