Is there a way to open CSV files with more than 255 columns?

I have a CSV file with more than 255 columns of data.  It's a fairly standard export of social media data that shows volume of posts by day for the past year, from which I can analyze the data and publish customized charts. Very easy in Excel but I'm hitting the Numbers limit of 255 columns per table. Is there a way to work around the limitation? Perhaps splitting the CSV in two? The data shows up in the CSV file when I open via TextEdit, so it's there. Just can't access it in Numbers. And it's not very usable/useful for me in TextEdit.
Regards,
Tim

You might be better off with Excel. Even if you could find a way to easily split the CSV file into two tables, it would be two tables when you want only one.  You said you want to make charts from this data.  While a series on a chart can be constructed from data in two different tables, to do so takes a few extra steps for each series on the chart.
For a test to see if you want to proceed, make two small tables with data spanning the tables and make a chart from that data.  Make the chart the normal way using the data in the first table then repeat the following steps for each series
Select the series in the chart
Go to Format sidebar
Click in the "Value" box
Add a comma then select the data for this series from the second chart
Press Return
If there is an easier way to do this, maybe someone else will chime in with that info.

    You have to order each book separately, if the books are different. Only multiple copies of the same book can be ordered in the same order, see here

  • Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

    That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Attach xls file with more than  255 chars

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to send an .xls file as attachement whose row contains more than 255 chars with FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.
    When preparing the attached table, I tried to separate the tables like this:
    loop at itab.
      concatenate itab-col_1 itab-col_2 itab-col_3 into it_attach
        separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
      append it_attach.
      concatenate itab-col_4 itab-col_5 itab-col_6 into it_attach
        separted by cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
      append it_attach.
      concatenate IT_ATTACH cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
      append it_attach.
    endloop.
    I am able to send this xls as attachment, but when open it in excel/notepad,
    it is so strange that there are so many spaces before the contents itab-col_4 which is unexpected.
    It is expected that the file is tab-delimited with continuous column 1-6.
    Any things went wrong?
    Many Thanks!

    Thanks.
    I tried the first method to convert the byte to string, but a short dumps is resulted,
    DATA: con_tab TYPE x,
               sep TYPE string.
    con_tab = '09'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
                EXPORTING
                  in_xstring = con_tab
                IMPORTING
                  out_string = sep.
    so I use back my original method to concatenate the columns as suggested, i.e.
    concatenate itab-col_1 tab itab-col_2 tab itab-col_3 tab into it_attach
    append it_attach.
    concatenate itab-col_4 tab itab-col_5 tab itab-col_6 into it_attach.
    append it_attach.
    concatenate it_attach cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline into it_attach.
    append it_attach.
    but the outcome is still the same, i.e. ...many leading space before itab-col_4
    any more ideas? Many Thanks

  • Is there a way to get vmmark score with more than 8 VMs/ tile?

    I want to run VMmark tool not only with 8 standard workload VMs but few more VMs added to that. Is it possible to get scores for those VMs as well, can anybody please provide some help on to how to do that?
    Is there any reference document available, to customize VMmark?

    What kind of "extra" VMs are you considering?  Remember that any runs where you change the workload mix will be non-compliant and cannot be used for public disclosure.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

    Is there a way to open a file when it says it needs DMR?

    Maybe you can let her play on your computer where it may be easier to restrict what she can do, provided there's an OS X equivalent. Of course supervision is probably the safest solution until she is old enough to understand she shouldn't do anything that's not permitted. But then she'd probably be old enough not to need to learn her ABSs.

  • Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?

    Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!

    I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
    http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
    .mts is also called AVCHD.
    I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
    And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
    VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
    Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
    Hope this help.
    You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
    I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.

  • HT2486 Is there a way to open two windows with address book on my computer?

    Is there a way to open two windows with address book on my computer?

    Photoshop only has one Color Palette.  If you could script something  like a Color Palette with  two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog.  You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed.  Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
    I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

  • Unable to Load CSV file with comma inside the column(Sql Server 2008)

    Hi,

    OK
    I need to do this in sql server 2008 R2 with Service pack 2, my build version is 10.50.1600.1.
    Can someone let me know it is possible in do the same way it is handle in SQL Server 2012?
    Or
    It got resolved in any successive Cumulative update after 10.50.1600.1?
    Regards Harsh

    Hello,
    If you have CSV with double quotes inside double quotes and with SSIS 2008, I suggest:
    in your data flow you use a script transformation component as Source, then define the ouput columns id signed int, Gp unicode string and C unicode string. e.g. Ouput 0 output colmuns
    Id - four-byte signed
    gp - unicode string
    cc - unicode string
    Do not use a flat file connection, but use a user variable in which you store the name of the flat file (this could be inside a for each file loop).
    The user variable is supplied as a a readonly variable argument to the script component in your dataflow.
    In the script component inMain.CreateNewOutputRows use a System.IO.Streamreader with the user variable name to read the file and use the outputbuffer addrow method to add each line to the output of the script component.
    Between the ReadLine instraction and the addrow instruction you have to add your code to extract the 3 column values.
    public override void CreateNewOutputRows()
    Add rows by calling the AddRow method on the member variable named "<Output Name>Buffer".
    For example, call MyOutputBuffer.AddRow() if your output was named "MyOutput".
    string line;
    System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader( Variables.CsvFilename);
    while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(line);
    if (line.StartsWith("_id,qp,c") != true) //skip header line
    Output0Buffer.AddRow();
    string[] mydata = Yourlineconversionher(line);
    Output0Buffer.Id = Convert.ToInt32(mydata[0]);
    Output0Buffer.gp = mydata[1];
    Output0Buffer.cc = mydata[2];
    file.Close();

  • Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

    I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
    (Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe -  on their devides and synching through cloud)

    You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
    Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
    In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
    Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
    Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
    Create 1 calendar called Kids
    Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
    Send invitations to each of them
    Son gets Son and Kids calendars
    Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
    So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
    If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
    Likewise for daughter.
