Work better with BLS data

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Avie and ran into some issues with BLS data and Chartbuilder today.

BLS by default formats its data like this:

It's possible to get it in a more columnar format, but it's not intuitive how to do it.

Possible to build in a "reformat my BLS data" feature, so users can copy/paste out of Excel and hit a button to get it in the right Chartbuilder-friendly format?
