4. Insert code into a module
5. Run the submodule airtableCleaner()
## Installing macro from a excel .xlsm file

1. just download my macro enabled workbook
2. Paste data in the first sheet (exactly the data you’d get from download as CSV from airtable)
3. Home → view → view macro → airtableCleaner() → run
## IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE RUNNING MACRO!
All of Column A should be unique values. This macro doesn't run otherwise, due to potential naming conflicts
If you want to keep the original file name uploaded to amazonS3, you can easily keep a copy of your original column somewhere else.
You can use this macro for things besides airtable, just format it in the same original input as above.
