I am using openoffice calc to generate import files for magento 2 csv import based on previously generated files with a different structure.
Has anyone found a formula to auto-populate the "configurable_variations" column for csv import into magento 2? I would set up the file where the simple associated products would either precede or follow the configurable. The aggregate data from the simple cells will be placed in the "configurable_variations" column then stop aggregating when a row shows type as "configurable"
Below is a simple version of how it should look.
sku size type configurable_variations
bc5 L simp
abc conf bc5-L
bc1 S simp
bc2 M simp
efg conf bc1-S|bc2-M</pre>
I do understand how to do the concatenated part. The part I can't figure out is how to get the formula to stop concatenating when it reaches the topmost "type" column "conf" above the "'sim" s, then restart the aggregate/concatenations automatically for the next conf type.
If I input the cells manually the formula would be :
=IF(C5="conf";CONCATENATE(A4;"-";B4;"|";A3;"-";B3))
Ideally, I would like it to auto-generate the a4, b4, a3 & b3 possibly using a helper column that has some type of "if-then" formula
If you have any other suggestion on how to do this it would be much appreciated
Thank you very much for your help
