Hello, I am a very new OpenRefine user, thanks for your patience.
I'm trying to clean multiple sets of data. I'm trying to apply my saved (long and time consuming) cleaning to another dataset. This worked fine yesterday. But today, when I try to apply the saved history, nothing happens. Like, nothing at all. I saved a copy of the json file as a txt file and tried importing that, and OpenRefine flashed the "working" window for a split second, and then didn't do anything. I tried different saved histories and those didn't work either.
What is going on?? I am about to cry. How do I make it work again?
It's also worth saying that in order for the history to apply the project you are applying to has to have identical column names to your original project - the transformations are applied to named columns, so if the column named in the transformation doesn't exist in your project, the transformation won't run.
The more information you can share about the data your are working with, the structure of the projects and the transformations you are applying, as well as which version of OpenRefine you are using, the more likely it is someone might be able to figure out what's going on
