I have been trying to import a csv file to access and appending it to a table. It only imports some of the rows and stops arbitarily. All the lines in the csv file are in the same format. HAs anyone encounntred this problem? how can I fix it?
Make sure text data is quote-encapsulated. You may have some text fields containing commas that can throw off the record layout and hose the entire import.

I'm trying to import some data from a CSV into my database with phpmyadmin.
Here's a row from the CSV:
20101,1,grams,Good,AU,0.9999,Caesar,2017-06-14,12:33:44,RP
The first number I have set as a unique bigint(16). Somehow though, this gets imported as "101" instead of "20101", which causes a duplicate error because i already have a "101".
Why wouldn't the number fully read as "20101"?
I think I figured this out. When saving the CSV from Excel, I was using the "CSV (UTF-8)" option. Don't know why that would make a difference, but when I switched to saving it as a plain CSV comma delineated, the file imported with no problems.
I am trying to load the following simple csv file into tableau public 9.3:
customers,item1,item2,item3,item4
1,0,0,0,0
2,0,0,0,0
3,0,0,0,0
However, it doesn't read the file as separate columns, despite the field separator being Comma. Instead it treats the whole line as one column. Any help would be greatly appreciated :
If you change your locale settings to English US you will be able to load the file. You should also be able to work around this by creating a schema.ini file.
Go to Data > Manage fields > [Field] Options
You can also control imported CSV behavior post import both by splitting individual columns (which will remain split on update as well), or by the image below at the CSV level.
That doesn`t work for me. So I reopen the .csv file in Excel and save it again in .csv format with ',' as the delimeter.
After that my file looks like .csv with ';' delimeter and works with Tableau.
I'm trying to export a CSV from my client's FluidSurvey's account and import it into a database I've created. I've never actually worked with a CSV before, so excuse my ignorance.
I've looked into this error and none of the solutions seem to be working for me, I'm at a loss, I've been trying to import this file for hours now.
Settings are as follows:
There is already a table with columns for this data to be inserted into.
What am I missing here?
You've showed exported csv file in Excel or Calc. It is impossible to understand how you columns are enclosed. Probably there is some sign other than ' or " Please show exported csv in notepad. This will clear the structure of csv.
I found that Fluidsurveys CSV files had the header two bytes incorrect.
They are only 7F7E. Changing them to the expected Unicode FFFE works as expected - they can be read into Excel with no garbage characters at the start.
I am importing some thousands lines of Data from a .txt file containing two columns and the format is as it follows:
A8041550408#=86^:|blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla1
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla2
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla3
A8041550408#=86^:|blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla1
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla2
A8041550408#=86^:|blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla1
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla2
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla3
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla4
etc....
What I have done so far is create a table with the two fields, but when i try to import the .txt file as a CSV and putting / Columns separated By : | /, I get an error:
"Invalid column count in CSV input on line 2."
Which is quite obvious since the second line of the .txt file is empty.
Moreover, I have tried importing the file as a CSV using LOAD DATA, and it didn't work as well it has just filled up the table with random words and phrases from the .txt file .
So my question is : How can I import the data from this file ?
You have to fix your file; in its current state you cannot expect the import module to be able to understand it. First step would be to remove the empty lines: How to remove blank lines from a Unix file
The data I'm trying to import is here: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/car/
car.data 51 K
There are no missing values in this data, yet there are lots of "?"s in the rapidminer once I imported the data. I looked at to the source and those data, which shown as "?", do exist properly in the source. What may be the problem?
by the way, if I download that file it's extension is .data. How should I import that kind of files? I import it as if it is a .csv file and it looks ok at first but there are those "?"s.
It's been sometime since I have used Rapidminer, but AFAIK, you can import .data file by using csv Import Wizard and setting the file type to All Files.
Regarding the ? values, you would have the look at the settings while importing the file and may have to adjust the datatype in Step 4 of the Import Wizard (the dropdown menu)
Use the Read CSV operator to load the file.
In the "Data import wizard - Step 2 of 4 screen, find the Column Separation group box and select the radio button Comma ",". The default separator is the semicolon and car.csv is comma-separated.
In the next step-- "Data import wizard - Step 3 of 4"-- change the annotation for row 1 from Name to - (the dash character). This tells RapidMiner that the first row contains data and not column headers.
