Then I need to grab the appropriate columns from Excel and add them to the “H”eader or “L”ine line in order to import the CSV. I don’t use excel much, any recommendations on the quickest way to do this? Thanks! #sqlhelp 2/2
I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be converted to CSV following using a certain format, then imported into the db. The primary key will be created during the import but I have to split each Excel line into 2 lines on the CSV file: “H” & “L” (header and lines) #sqlhelp 1/2
@DesertIsleSQL Makes sense. I have been telling everyone that it was such a great experience and that's how a conference should be run. Had fun seeing you on the panel during the Speaker Idol finals!
Starting out as "accidental dba" & wanted to see what you use to automate manipulation of CSV files. I get a CSV file from a vendor with a lot of garbage in it. Is there a way to automate it so I can pull only certain fields from it and then import it into my DB? Thx! #sqlhelp
@pshore73 @ALevyInROC Thank you, guys. I have no experience with PowerShell. Would you recommend any sources to help me get started to tackle this issue? I assume there are already scripts out there that can be modified? Thanks again!
