In the third episode of Automators we are joined by Sal Soghoian, AppleScript God, to learn about AppleScript and how to use it!
While David and I usually take it in turns to write up everything about the show and provide complete documentation, Sal's actually done that for this week:
You can find the scripts, videos, and a complete breakdown of everything over at macOSautomation, along with all of Sal's other things.
In this show Sal gave us 3 AppleScripts. The first takes a whole table, and converts it into a bar chart in Keynote, the second takes a row or column and makes a pie chart, and the final one takes selected rows and turns them into a chart.
Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Widget A | $1212 | $1495 | $1170 | $1423 |
Widget B | $1902 | $2345 | $1835 | $2121 |
Widget C | $2636 | $3250 | $2542 | $3168 |
The brilliance of this, is the first script is just 17 lines - that's it!
You can listen to the episode over on Relay FM. And make sure to use the code in the show if you want to attend CMD-D Down Home Scripting Bootcamp!
