Include Option to Paste Spreadsheet Row Directly as Column Wave

jjweimer
I copied a row of data from a spreadsheet and went to Igor Pro to paste it as a wave. The paste dialog recognizes that I have six columns in the clipboard but one column in the data table. Unfortunately, the only two options are to paste one column or cancel. It seems, I have to go through an intermediate step.
Can this dialog be expanded to include an option to paste a row directly as a column wave? This will save the tedious manual conversion process.
FWIW, I used the command line to do the assignment `wave = { ...}`. I pasted the row data in the {...} and then replaced all the tabs by hand with commas.

Thank you. It looks interesting. Once I get back to the entire data set, I give it a test run.

Tony's solution is really helpful (especially when the menu item is given a hotkey). Thanks to you both for raising the question and addressing it!
