| Editing Q and A |
[Guest]
| | Posted on 1/31/2020 9:53:54 AM 1757 days ago | | Is there a file where I can edit the Questions and Answers in a database of a file? Doing this one by one makes it very time consuming. I tried editing the database file, added a question and answer and saved, but it doesn't show up in the game. I tried to import but it says it's not a valid database file. Any ideas? |

I appreciate you taking time to answer. I was referring to the questions that are currently there and what is in database. I deleted the tables in the database but that didn't do anything. I can't find the file that holds the questions and answers as well. Thank you. |

| | Posted on 2/4/2020 12:13:11 AM 1754 days ago | | I have imported thousands of questions using a text file....I edited everything in a spread sheet, used formulas to put the answers in the proper format then saved as either a comma or tab delimited file (I forget off the top of my head) then you can import that file into a category....easy peezy....I actually purchased trivia questions from a few online trivia shops, and got the questions/answer in a spreadsheet file....that you can then edit/manipulate. |

| | Posted on 2/4/2020 12:21:13 AM 1754 days ago | so here is the final format for a question/answer
Entertainment: Celebrities - What college did Brad Pitt attend?|||University Of Missouri
and here is the formula I used in my particular case...
=CONCATENATE(B4," - ",D4,"|||",E4)
so the final cell takes the question catagory, then the question, then adds the ||| ten the answer....then just copy the column with the final result and paste into a text document...do about 500 at a time, and import that text document into a category...and done. The most work is in editing the questions and answers for any weird characters or fixing the multiple choice answers etc... |
