This tutorial walks through the steps to convert course schedule from Excel file into MODX.

1. Open up the original Excel file (provided by Deborah), merge multiple faculty into one row, then delete all the empty rows.
2. Open up the Course Schedule Sample Excel file
3. Copy and paste each column such as Course Title, Credit, and Course Number into the sample Excel file. Do it for both Day and Evening courses.
4. Once everything is in place, copy all (except for row 1) from the Excel file to an HTML editor:

   <div class="table-wrap">
<table id="course-schedule" class="sortable" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Sched.</th>
<th>Course Name</th>
<th>Num. (Sec.) CRN</th>
<th>Instructor(s)</th>
<th class="unsortable">Days, Time</th>
<th>Final Exam</th>
<th class="unsortable">Syllabus</th>
</tr>
<!--SCHEDULE STARTS HERE-->
<!--Paste the table from Excel into here-->
<!--SCHEDULE ENDS HERE-->
</tbody>
</table>
</div><!--end table-wrap-->

5. Save as an HTML file and view it in the browser. Clean up all the extra spaces using Search & Replace. For examples: ( 3 cr) to (3cr) and ( 001 ) to (001)
6. Next, perform Search & Replace for notes items: //, (W), (E), +, and (N.1) to (N.9)

   
<a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#permission" title="With witten permission of instructor only.">//</a>

   <a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#writing" title="This course has been designated as a writing course.">(W)</a>

   <a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#experimental" title="This course has been designated as an experiential course.">(E)</a>

   <a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#prerequisites" title="This course has prerequisites.">+</a>

   <a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#n1" title="See Note 1">(N.1)</a>

   Note that (N.1) to (N.9) are different for Day than Evening. For Evening change the anchor ID from #n1 to #n1-eve.

7. Copy and paste notes from the original Excel file to the bottom of the HTML page. Reformat the notes to include all the anchor links.
8. Once everything looks good, paste into MODX
