Winning Number Table - Draw Number Problem

The New Zealand Lottery (like many others) has had some changes over the years. The weekly to bi-weekly change is the problem for me - my draw numbers don't match the dates anymore and it irritates me. I can change the daw number manually but that's a nuisance - maybe there's any easy to do it - in bulk. Is there an easy way or do I just have to grin and bear it and do it individually? Hopefully the new lottery creation will have a draw number only option sometime in the future.

Unfortunately, you may have to use another program or spreadsheet(I use LibreOffice) to adjust the draw numbers and dates. Then import them back into EL.

Yes, I ended up doing it with Excel. I need to get into the habit of editing each draw as I add them instead of leaving it for 20 draws. I just added the last two draws and editing them got a bit messy - doing 20 at once would have me pulling my hair out. :)
