HI Ernie -
I had a problem doing just what you said, i.e.
1 - I exported my Deck (1617 entries) - Mvskoke_FlashcardsDeluxe1.xlsx (via OneDrive)
2 - I merged , updated some cards (particularly Categories) & added + 197 entries (incl some long phrases w Media mp4 files)
3 - saved updated/merged file (w/o stats) in Mvskoke_FlashcardsDeluxe1.xlsx
4 - set Deck Code to = G:.... & loaded to Google Drive
5 - on the App on my iPhone, selected Edit > Download/Update per instructions
6 - upload completed but result is that it did NOT "match up old and new cards so that it can copy statistics ", instead
- I now have 3431 cards in the deck
-- 3234 duplicates = the orignal 1617 items x2 , they are all in there 2x
-- the 197 NEW entries - no duplicates for these, they're just in there 1x each
7 - I re-exported the resulting file from my iPhone, and in there each duplicated entry has :
-- for the 1st entry listed
------ Category1/2/3 = BLANK (for the entries updated in merge / update file, that weren't already populated)
------Statistics 1 = populated
-- for the 2nd (duplicate) entry
------ Category1/2/3 = Updated / populated per the update file
------Statistics 1 = Blank/NULL
_________________________________________________
Apparently the Match failed everywhere .....
I suppose now I could just recover my stats from the latest export, merge these in to my upload file & then load it as if it were a new deck , rather than trying to merge & count on the App retaining the stats for the updated items,
but that is kind of a pain when the App is supposed to let you run an update...
I did successfully do this a few months back (Apr or May?) & it worked fine merge-wise, but for some reason this time it just went askew creating 1600+ duplicates.
Do you have any other suggestions or diagnosis for why it did this ?
I did add some grammatical markers, including a couple of numeric items in the Text1 field ( number 3 for ex.), is this why it had a problem, or something else.
I'd like to continue using this merge feature, but I'd like to know if I can't rely on it...
Thoughts/Suggestions ?
thanks/Randy
