How to import a csv file and read in sap ui5?

Hi,
I want to import a file and read it contents to bind it to table.How to do it?
Thanks in advance.

I tried to do this all from within the application but found it easier to just start with a JSON file. But, you can use a JS library to convert your CSV into JSON from within the application like this one:
archan937/csonv.js · GitHub
I just converted my CSV to JSON. Once you have that, all you need to do is instantiate a model for it and bind to table.
onInit: function () {
    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel("PATH TO YOUR JSON FILE");
    this.getView().setModel(oModel);
<Table id="idProductsTable"
    inset="false"
    items="{
      path: '/ProductCollection',
      sorter: {
        path: 'Name'
    }">
The UI5 demo kit is a good resource. I believe it'll be same/similar for SAPUI5:
OpenUI5 SDK - Demo Kit
See here for example of defining your model and binding to a table:

Hello ABAP Experts,
how to write a code for read a csv file and read the fiscal year in the 4th position.
any suggestions or code highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Bwer,
Declare table itab with the required fields...
Use GUI UPLOAD to get the contents of the file (say abc.csv) in case if the file is on the presentation server...
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename                        = 'c:\abc.csv'
   FILETYPE                        = 'ASC'
    WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = 'X'
tables
    data_tab                        = itab
EXCEPTIONS
   FILE_WRITE_ERROR                = 1
   NO_BATCH                        = 2
   OTHERS                          = 22
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Use OPEN DATASET in case if the file is on the application server..
After that USE SPLIT command at comma to get the contents of the 4th field...

How to import an .csv file into the database?

and can we code the program in JSP to import the.csv file into the database.

It is better to use Java class to read the CSV file and store the contents in the database.
You can use JSP to upload the CSV file to the server if you want, but don't use it to perform database operations.
JSPs are good for displaying information on the front-end, and for displaying HTML forms, there are other technologies more suitable for the middle layer, back end and the database layer.
So break you application into
1) Front end - JSPs to display input html forms and to display data retrieved from the database.
2) Middle layer - Servlets and JavaBeans to interact with JSPs. The code that reads the CSV file to parse it's contents should be a Java Class in the middle layer. It makes use of Java File I/O
3) Database layer - Connects to the database using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), and then writes to the database with SQL insert statements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keeping the above concepts in mind, first build a simple JSP and get it to work,
then research on Google , for Java File I/O , discover how to read a file,
Then search on how to readh a CSV file using Java.
After researching you should be able to read the CSV file line by line and store each line inside a Collection.
Then research on Google, on how to write to the database using JDBC
Write a simple program that inserts something to a dummy table in the database.
Then, read the data stored in the Collection, and write insert statements for each records in the collection.

Is there a way to select a certain box of elements from a csv file and read that into LabVIEW?

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way to select only a certain "box" of elements from a .csv file in LabVIEW? I have LabVIEW 2011 and my main goal is to take two arrays and graph them against each other. I can import the .csv file just fine and separate each row and each column to be its own, but say I have an 8X8 but want to graph the middle 4X5 or something like that. Is there any way to extract an array without starting at the beginning and without ending at the end? Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Szklanam,
as a CSV file is just a TXT file with a different suffix you can read a certain number of lines of that file. So you can limit the number of rows in your resultung array. To limit the number of columns you still have to use ArraySubset, so maybe it's a lot easier to read the full CSV file and pick the interesting spots with ArraySubset...

Not certain this is what you're after, but this :
#import the contents of both csv files
$dbexcel=import-csv c:\dbexcel.csv
$liveexcel=import-csv C:\liveexcel.csv
#prepare the output csv and create the headers
$outputexcel="c:\outputexcel.csv"
$outputline="Name,Connection Status,Version,DbExcel,LiveExcel"
$outputline | out-file $outputexcel
#Loop through each record based on the number of records (assuming equal number in both files)
for ($i=0; $i -le $dbexcel.Length-1;$i++)
# Assign the yes / null values to equal the word equivalent
if ($dbexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$dbavail="Available"} else {$dbavail="Unavailable"}
if ($liveexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$liveavail="Available"} else {$liveavail="Unavailable"}
#create the live of csv content from the two input csv files
$outputline=$dbexcel.name[$i] + "," + $liveexcel.'connection status'[$i] + "," + $dbexcel.version[$i] + "," + $dbavail + "," + $liveavail
#output that line to the csv file
$outputline | out-file $outputexcel -Append
should do what you're looking for, or give you enough to edit it to your exact need.
I've assumed that the dbexcel.csv and liveexcel.csv files live in the root of c:\ for this, that they include the header information, and that the outputexcel.csv file will be saved to the same place (including headers).

How to import a csv file without "+" being added to numbers?

I'm trying to import a csv file from my bank. Numbers automatically adds a "+" and "-" sign before all numbers. Numbers won't add the numbers with a + sign. How can I easily remove the + sign? It seems the delimiter in the csv file may be ", rather than , Thanks.

Wayne,
I don't believe that the plus sign came from Numbers. Except for a purposful application of a Custom Format, Numbers isn't going to add the plue sign. The minus sign is another issue. It's a perfectly acceptable part of the value and shouldn't cause a problem.
If the plus sign came from the CSV file, which you seem to imply isn't the case, you would have to strip it out before submitting to Numbers.

How do Import a csv file that contains strings

I have a file that contains numbers as US formmated $$$ such as $1,123,123,123 I have a perl script on one of our linux servers that creates the csv file as
"Total Dollars","$1,123,123,123","some other string","etc" but when I import the file into numbers
Unnamed Table
Average Price'
$160
686'
$222
482'
$114
820'
$188
062'
I cant find a setting anywhere that says to ignore commas inside a string. This works in most other applications.

I apologize but you wrote :
WALTER-MILANO-ITALY wrote:
You should be now able to import the file using ; as separator or if you prefer you can do again the change of ; with ,
It's not a matter of preferences. The OP can't import a file whose values are separated by semi-colons.
He must replace them by commas.
With your scheme :
Original datas
'Total Dollars','$1,123,123,123','some other string','etc'
after your step 1
'Total Dollars';'$1,123,123,123','some other string','etc'
after your step 2
'Total Dollars';'$1,123,123,123''some other string''etc'
and the datas are completly unusable
A possible scheme would be :
Original datas
'Total Dollars','$1,123,123,123','some other string','etc'
'Totals Dollars','$12,123,123,123’,’blahblah’,’etc'
after possible step 1 (replace ‘,’ by ",")
'Total Dollars";"$1,123,123,123";"some other string";"etc'
'Totals Dollars";"$12,123,123,123";"blahblah";"etc'
after possible step 2 (replace single ‘ by ")
"Total Dollars";"$1,123,123,123";"some other string";"etc"
"Totals Dollars";"$12,123,123,123";"blahblah";"etc"
after possible step 3 (replace ";" by ",")
"Total Dollars","$1,123,123,123","some other string","etc"
"Totals Dollars","$12,123,123,123","blahblah","etc"
This one may be imported by Numbers on thez OP’s machine.
I don't know if these changes may be done with Perl but I know that they are easy to do with AppleScript.
But honestly, if Perl is able to build a TAB separated values file, it would be more efficient.

How to import from CSV file into INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND column?

Hello,
I need to import data from a csv file that has a column that stores time-intervals (e.g. 2:06:02 Hours:Minutes:Seconds) into a table column INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND.
Does any of you know what format I should apply?
I tried HH:MI:SS but it didn't work.
Any suggestion is welcomed (including changing the column type to something else that might hold time-intervals in it....).
Thanks,
Andrei

Andrei,
There is no native support for the INTERVAL datatype in the Text loading facilities of Application Express.
To work around this known limitation, I suggest either creating a temporary table or a shadow column in your existing table. You could then upload your data for the interval as a VARCHAR2 and then use SQL to convert to an appropriate interval value.
For example:
1) Create a table with:
create table foo (id number primary key, i interval day to second, shadowi varchar2(4000) )2) Using your sample data set, load this data into table FOO, loading the second column of this data into column SHADOWI
1     01:06:02
2     02:06:02
3     03:01:013) Issue the following SQL to convert the value in your shadow interval column to your actual interval column
update foo set i = to_dsinterval( '0 ' || shadowi )Note that you'll need to prepend the '0' to formulate a valid interval literal value.

How to import a CSV file into Appleworks

Does anybody knows? I tried using ASCII format (everything goes into one cell), Excel (not recognized). Very fustrated, I can do that in 2 seconds with Excel or Open Office.
Any help will be really appreciated, must be something really sily

Roger, you are right. But instead of using a word processort I fixed the file with Perl (much faster in my case):
auyan:~/Desktop josevnz$ perl -p -i -e 's#,#\t#g; s#\n#\rn#;' 401k-funds-appleworks.csv
I have to say than Appleworks ***** big time .
Thanks for your help, very valuable tip!

Importing CSV file and parsing it

First of all I am very new to writing powershell code. Therefore, my question could be very rudimentary, but I cannot find an answer, so please help.
I'm trying to read a CSV file and parse it. I cannot figure out how to access nth element without hardcoding its name.
$data = Import-Csv $file #import CSV file
# read column headers (manually read the first row of the data file, or import it from other source, or ...)
$file_dump = Get-Content $file #OK, I'm sure there is another way to get just the first line, but that's not relevant
$name_list = $file_dump[0].split(",")
# access element
$temp = $data[$i].Name # works - but that's HARDCODING the column name into the script - what if someone changes it?
#but what I want to do is
$temp = $data[$i].$name_list[0]
How do I do this in PowerShell?

So you're asking how to get the first data point from the first column, no matter what the header is?
Why won't you know what your input file looks like?
You can always drop the first line of the file to remove the existing headers and then use the -Header parameter of Import-Csv to give yourself known headers to reference (this will only work if you know how many columns to expect, etc etc etc).
