Help with CSV file


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have just started using csv and for a beginner its a bit of a struggle.

 

Can I suggest you check the headings you can upload on the WIKI then create a spreadsheet with all the heading you feel you need ( do not need to be in any particular order.

The populate the cells with the relevant information.

 

Save the spreadsheet as a csv file not xl. then try uploading it to your PS

 

Once you have it uploaded there is a facility in the import (second page) to match your columns with those of PS.

 

Good luck -

 

Hopefully some else with more experience might contribute as well

Hi CGP,

I'll try to help you out here a bit.

Create a spreadsheet using all those headers, (they don't all have to be filled in, but it helps when uploading your csv so they line up nicely).

 

Here's a thread that should help you greatly GREAT tutorial <--- click here

Go to post # 20 on that page. It helped me very much when trying to figure out the csv's.

 

My personal advice is to manually create your categories, then use the category ID in your csv. If an item belongs in two categories, separate their ID numbers with a comma in the column, with no space, like this : 5,12,4

 

Good luck !

Kathleen
