Importing CSV data

Hi!
I'm trying to import data into a table in my APEX application.
Everything was fine until I try to import decimal numbers.
This is a problematic row:
770;6;1;20130930;AA;20130930;NP;MB;03234495;;R;00;HR;0000;B;P1111;;00000000000000000000;HRK;;;;;XXX;;;;;;-157.492.093,16;-157.492.093,16;01;92963223473;;
Number is -157.492.093,16.
Table column is defined as number (17,2)
My import parameters are:
Separator ;
Charset UTF-8
Group separator .
Decimal separator ,
I've used the default Data Loading page...
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Regards,
Ivan

Ivan,
put up a sample app on apex.oracle.com
what you have SEEMS correct.
You have properly identified the 'group separator' as a period and a 'decimal separator' as a comma.
The only idea I have is:
You may need to 'declare' the number format on the next page after the initial "load data" page.
I have had to add a format for my DATE columns.
eg FORMAT for the number:
S999G999G999G999G990D00

The fastest way is to use external tables or sql loader (sqlldr). (If you use external tables or sql loader, you don't use C# at all).

I'm getting a 'The Management Pack element is not declared' error when trying to import CSV data into my *extended* WindowsComputer class

Background:
I have a class called SUS_WindowsComputerMP, that is an extension of the Microsoft class, Microsoft.Windows.Computer
I'm trying to import CSV data into this extended class and to the base class as well.
Question:
What am I doing wrong? I have a feeling that the Import CSV Format file is different for importing data into *extended* classes like mine, because the XML structure below would work for non-extended classes.

Using PowerShell to import CSV data from Vendor database to manipulate Active Directory Users

Hello,
I have a big project I am trying to automate. I am working in a K-12 public education IT Dept. and have been tasked with importing data that has been exported from a vendor database via .csv file into Active Directory to manage student accounts.
My client wants to use this data to make bulk changes to student user accounts in AD such as moving accounts from one OU to another, modifying account attributes based on State ID, lunchroom ID, School, Grade, etc. and adding new accounts / disabling
accounts for students no longer enrolled.
The .csv that is exported doesn't have headers that match up with what is needed for importing in AD, so those have to be modified in this process, or set as variables to get the correct info into the correct attributes in AD or else this whole project is
a bust. He is tired of manually manipulating the .csv data and trying to get it onto AD with few or no errors, hence the reason it has been passed off to me.
Since this information changes practically daily, I need a way to automate user management by accomplishing the following on a scheduled basis.
Process must:
Check to see if Student Number already exists
If yes, then modify account
Update {School Name}, {Site Code}, {School Number}, {Grade Level} (Variables)
Add correct group memberships (School / Grade Specific)
Move account to correct OU (OU={Grade},OU=Students,OU=Users,OU={SiteCode},DC=Domain,DC=net)
Remove incorrect group memberships (School / Grade Specific)
Set account status (enabled / disabled)
If no, create account
Import Student #
Import CNP #
Import Student name
Extract First and Middle initial
If duplicate name exists
Create log entry for review
Import School, School Number, Grade Level
Add to correct Group memberships (School / Grade Specific)
Set correct OU (OU={Grade},OU=Students,OU=Users,OU={SiteCode},DC=Domain,DC=net)
Set account Status
I am not familiar with Powershell, but have researched enough to know that it will be the best option for this project. I have seen some partial solutions in VB, but I am more of an infrastructure person instead of scripting / software development.
I have just started creating a script and already have hit a snag. Maybe one of you could help.

Import CSV data to an existing populated XLS file

Hi Guys,
Looking for some assistance, with some powershell I have never done before.. and don't know where to start..
I have a CSV file that contains some data - Several items exported from a standard powershell command.
I also have an XLS file that has been manually populated for the last 6 months with data.
What I want to get to (and have started with exporting the data to csv) is for the script to run, and add the data from the CSV to the XLS in the already exisiting colum heading.
SO in the first row - we need to add the date, followed by adding data under each subsequent column that already has a heading..
Anyone got any suggestions on where to start with this? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allan Harding

I think your question is a bit too broad and vague.
If you are not a scripter then I recommend asking in the Exxcel forum. THey will help you learn how to use Excel tomerge data tables.
If you want to scrpt this then youneed to start by learning how to write a script. YOu will want to use Import-Csv and the Excel object model.
If this is critical then I recommend contacting a consultant.

Importing CSV dates - wrong format

Hi,
I have some CSV data I want to import into Numbers and the CSV has dates. I work with "British" style dd/mm/yy dates but the CSV is "American" mm/dd/yy. How can I persuade Numbers to translate between the two styles?
Thanks,
Dave

Run this script or drag & drop the csv on the script icon (saved as an application).
The embedded dates will be changed from US format to English (French) one.
The edited csv file will be saved in the Temporary items folder an opened by Numbers.

Creating stored procedure to import csv data into tables

I am trying to create a stored procedure to import data from a csv file into a table. I tried using sqlldr but could not run it at school due to access permissions that they will not change. So I looked at the utl_package and from what I can see it requires a "virtual" directory, which conflicts with the access permissions again at school. So can I create a stored procedure that will just read data from a csv file into a table without the need to write or create a file/directory.
Thankyou

Since, you are talking about so much restriction - i don't think you will get that.
One alternative solution can be -> write a java based pl/sql procedure and try load that by parsing it. But, for that you need execute privileges on dbms_java package.
Do you have that? I doubt.
Regards.
Satyaki De.Nope not allowed to use java, and im new to oracle. Why can't a stored procedure in pl/sql just read a file and put the data into a table I create prior?

Import CSV Data from a server into SQLite - Help me do this or talk me out of it?

There is a portion of a MySQL database (no more than 500 records, 6 fields) that I would like to download into a local SQLite db every time a user signs in.
The reason I want to do this is because there are a lot of weird group by statements I want to chart, and I don't want to have to go back to the server over and over again.
So what I've done is created an empty local SQLite db that matches my MySQL table.
Is there a way to import all these records without having to do a "foreach" statement?

You will need to read the data into an ArrayCollection likely with HTTPService and then use a for loop to build and run the Insert ... Values() sql statements.
Preferably wrapped in transaction.

Excel issues with importing CSV or HTML table data from URL - Sharepoint? Office365?

Greetings,
We have a client who is having issues importing CSV or HTML table data as one would do using Excel's Web Query import from a reporting application. As the error message provided by Excel is unhelpful I'm reaching out to anyone who can help us begin to
troubleshoot problems affecting what is normal standard Excel functionality. I'd attach the error screenshot, but I can't because my account is not verified....needless to say it says "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file https://www.avantalytics.com/reporting_handler?func=wquery&format=csv&logid=XXXX&key=MD5
Where XXXX is a number and MD5 is an md5 code. The symptoms stated in the error message are:
- the file name or path does not exist
-The file is being used by another program
-The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
None of these symptoms are the case, naturally. The user encountered this with Excel2010, she was then upgraded to Excel2013 and is still experiencing the same issue. The output of this URL in a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox) is CSV data for the affected
user, so it is not a network connectivity issue. In our testing environment using both Excel2010 or 2013 this file is imported successfully, so we cannot replicate. The main difference I can determine between our test environment and the end-user
is they have a Sharepoint installation and appear to have Office365 as well.
So, my question might more appropriately be for Sharepoint or Office365 folks, but I can't be sure they're a culprit. Given this - does anyone have any knowledge of issues which might cause this with Sharepoint or Office365 integrated with
Excel and/or have suggestions for getting more information from Excel or Windows other than this error message? I've added the domain name as a trusted publisher in IE as I thought that might be the issue, but that hasn't solved anything. As you
can see its already https and there is no authentication or login - the md5 key is the authentication. The certificate for the application endpoint is valid and registered via GoDaddy CA.
I'm at a loss and would love some suggestions on things to check/try.
Thanks -Ross

Hi Ross,
>> In our testing environment using both Excel 2010 and 2013 this file is imported successfully, so we cannot replicate.
I suspect it is caused by the difference of web server security settings.

Import Meta Data from CSV - Export Meta Data to CSV

Ability to import meta data into selected images from CSV file containing a number of fields, one of which is file name. The other fields would be selected tags to import.
Import logic would be, Where file name in column 1 matches current selected filename, then take following fields 2, 3, etc and import into Bridge.
Export selected meta data from selected files to CSV to form reverse of above to allow edit of data in Excel etc.
Further enchancement on import would be to allow instead of just filename, but date/time range matching.
Logic would be, Where date/time in column 1 is within X hours of selected
image creation date/time then import following fields into image meta data.
Useful for example if you already have a GPS tracklog in CSV and want to try and update images with GPS. Assuming camera clock approx same as GPS clock.

The issue was within the .csv file. There were duplicate records that were attempting to load as the ID value. After deleting the duplicate records, the transformation file ran successfully.

Problem importing specific data from .csv file

Hello!
I'm using JDev 11.1.3.0 with JSF ui and I've been following the excellent example about importing comma separated values from a .csv file, of Mr. Bors, but I have a specific problem...
1) When i try to import a date value (format dd/mm/yyyy) to a date field of my adf table, the date won't be accepted and it's not shown (I'm using Row.setAttribute("Field", textValue) for that purpose). I guess I have to enter it in a specific format but don't know how!
2) Same thing with double values. Tried 1.50 and it's showing on the adf table 0.02. Tried 1,50 (with a different text separator) and it's throwing me an error and doesn't show anything on the table (again i'm using Row.setAttribute("Field", textValue) for that one too)...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
Edited by: Nikolas Saridakis on 6 Νοε 2010 11:10 πμ

I tried your suggestion before I set my question but didn't know if I was looking on the right direction (I tried some things but they didn't work out). After a bit poking everything was fine...
So I used
Row.setAttribute("Field_name", oracle.jbo.domain.Date.fromText(value, "dd/mm/yyyy", null));
and it did the trick...
Weird thing about numbers was that after that, they were entered properly on the table with a normal Row.setAttribute("Field_name", value); with value being a String... anyway!
Thank you Timo!

Hi
Firstly, are you trying to upload your data into a new table or an existing table? If it's a new table, what name are you using?
Secondly, it may help if we could see a sample of the csv

Import CSV/Excel data into Flex Datagrid using Java/JSP

Hi,
Is there any way we can import excel/csv data into flex datagrid component.
I see that is been done using php in this site. http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can store the list of data from the Excel sheet that you have read already into an ArrayList
Then go through the JDBC tutorial, and learn how to insert a single record into the table.
After you understand how to insert a single record, you can iterate through the ArrayList of data and insert them into the table in the database.
If you know JDBC, see if you can use OR Mapping frameworks like Hibernate or iBatis, they make it very easy to manage database in Java.

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...

Importing csv with dates

Hi all,
I am importing csv files that contain (among others) two columns with dates into Numbers. The dates are all uniformly formatted by dd.mm.yyyy, which is in Germany the usual date format. However, the import changes them into numbers, e.g.
26.10.2009 becomes 38650
13.11.2009 becomes 38668
So, there seams to be some logic behind, but how can I conveniently get the correct date back?
Thanks for any help.
Best regards.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to change the cell format type to 'date' *after* importing the data, it just remained 'number'.
However, I found a way to work around the problem: Introducing a new column and using there the function EDATE gave me the original date back! The function takes two arguments, the first I let point to the cell with the strange number, the second I let point to an empty cell.
EDATE might not be meant to work that way and this feature is not documented, anyway, it worked for me.
