So, I have a static data export file which is only available as a .YAML file. It's pretty large, so here is a piece of the code inside for you to understand how does it look like:

I want to transform that data into a Google Sheets table, however I faced a problem: I can't use the .YAML file using the "import" function inside the Google Sheets, since .YAML files are not supported.
I tried 20 different online converters and also tried to convert the .YAML to .CSV, .HTML and other file types what are eligible for Google Sheets import, but it either didn't work with such a large file or the resulting table was missing like half of the content with incorrect data placement among raws and columns.
For now, I don't even think about formatting the data and how do I want the resulting table to look like. I only want to somehow transform that .YAML into a properly working Google Sheet table which is not missing any data.
Please, advise me how would you solve that issue.
P.S.: Also, please keep in your mind that I am absolute 0 to programming, the only thing I can do is copy-paste the code into Google Scripts attached to the Google Sheet and then invoke the containing function. If your solution works separately from GSheets and GScripts environment, please, also advise the actual way how a lamer like me can use it.
