Advice for 20plus option names with 20plus option values?

My store has a vast array of products with a vast array of attributes that specify the price.

I've been using easy populate, but I'm coming to the realization that I'll soon have an attributes spreadsheet that will span hundreds of columns.

Is there an alternative to EP? I'd be willing to pay for software that could manage my hundred or so attributes that I'm going to end up with at the end of this process.

Thanks!

Re: Advice for 20plus option names with 20plus option values?

I thought I'd reply to my own post in case anyone finds this post.

I stumbled upon the Add-On called Apsona (google it) which has helped me enormously. So far I've got about 18 Option Names (dropdowns) that total 880 Option Values used for Attribute pricing.

The great thing about Apsona is that it allows your to filter your database and export only what you need. So I can filter my database to give me a specific manufacturer, a specific Option Name, and even Product Names and Descriptions that contain a specific word.

It also offers filtering to view or isolate your customers which could come in handy as well.

Easy Populate downloads EVERYTHING in your database. Eventually my database grew so large that I wouldn't even export anymore.
