  • Actually this seems like a better solution for you.

    Here’s another approach, I like this one more because it is a closer match to the problem you described.

    Thanks, tried the first approach but was slower that what I was doing. The second one didn’t worked because I use some of the new generated columns to create new ones, but doing the process twice, to use the new columns to create the additional columns worked well and reduced the process time from 22m to 13m. Maybe they’re ways to optimize even more the code, but 13 minutes is good enough for me.

    Edit: for some reason it broke the information in some way and the next steps of the process are giving me errors 😐

    Edit2: I’m an idiot, I made an error while updating the code to the new method.











  • I used to work as an assistant editor for Fox Channel in Argentina many many years ago. And there was this trailer for a star trek movie that had the name on text of the crew on the trailer and the scriptwriter wrote “Zulu” instead of Sulu in the script (my knowledge about star trek is limited to the memes of this community) so I complied and wrote Zulu on the trailer. Nobody else notice and was aired like that. the next day it aired some guy I have never seen on my life entered my island with my producer and the screenwriter and the guy was furious, asking me why I wrote the name wrong and telling me that they had been receiving calls from all latinamerica saying thay we were fucking stupid and had to pull off the trailer from air. I show him the script as it came to me in the email and the screenwriter facepalmed in shame. They asked me to correct the name and re send the traileds asap. After thay I learned thay the guy was like the director of costumers relationship and the poor screenwriter was demoted and transferred to write the trailer of the cooking channel.
