I am trying to use the the Utilities > Member Import Utility to create an XML file that I can then use to import member data.
I have about seventy members to import. I was able to work through the mapping with what appeared to be a good match, but when I click the button, I get the following error:
Line does not match structure
I am using a .csv file to bring the data and I have selected comma as the deliminator. I can map the fields but when I click Create XML I get the Parse error.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks.
I found the answer. I appears to automatically understand that it is relative. When I simply put the name of the file in it went in with error.
So the correct path is: customer.txt
However, because the username is a number and not alpha numeric it cannot be imported.

I frequent a real estate website that shows recent transactions, from which I will download data to parse within a Pandas dataframe. Everything about this dataset remains identical every time I download it (regarding the column names, that is).
The name of the Excel output may change, though. For example, if I already have download a few of these in my Downloads folder, the file that's exported may read "Generic_File_(3)" or "Generic_File_(21)" if I already have a few older "Generic_File" exports in that folder from a previous export.
Ideally, I'd like my workflow to look like this: export this Excel file of real estate sales, then run a Python script to read in the most recent export as a Pandas dataframe. The catch is, I don't want to have to go in and change the filename in the script to match the appending number of the Excel export everytime. I want the pd.read_excel method to simply read the "Generic_File" that is appended with the largest number (which will obviously correspond to the most rent export).
I suppose I could always just delete old exports out of my Downloads folder so the newest, freshest export is always named the same ("Generic_File", in this case), but I'm looking for a way to ensure I don't have to do this. Are wildcards the best path forward, or is there some other method to always read in the most recently downloaded Excel file from my Downloads folder?
I would use the OS package and create a method to read to file names in the downloads folder. Parsing string filenames you could then find the file following your specified format with the highest copy number. Something like the following might help you get started.
import os
downloads = os.listdir('C:/Users/[username here]/Downloads/')
is_file = [True if '.' in item else False for item in downloads]
files = [item for keep, item in zip(is_file, downloads) if keep]
** INSERT CODE HERE TO IDENTIFY THE FILE OF INTEREST **
Regex might be the best way to find matches if you have a diverse listing of files in your downloads folder.
I am new to MS-Access.
The title is the error I get when I try to import an excel sheet into a new table in Access 2016. Note the single empty quote is part of the error message.
I've tried reinstalling, playing around with import options, importing from a CSV, CSV with different encodings, checked the table in excel for errors or inconsistencies.
I have searched and searched without luck. Help would be appreciated.
ADDENDUM:
The CSV I've tried to import is:
CashAccountID,AccountDescription,BankName,BankAccountNumber
301,Primary Checking Account,MegaBank,9017765453
302,Money Market Account,Wells Gargle,3831157490
303,Payroll Account,MegaBank,9835320050
I've encountered the same error and, from trial and error, it appears the issue is related to the size of the Excel file you're importing from. I've had success by splitting the 70MB Excel file into two 35MB files before doing the same import into Excel.
The error message from MS Access is nonsensical - the problem occurs when we're not using an import/export specification at all (and nor are there any saved in the Access I'm running). I think we can put this failure and erroneous error message down as an MS Access bug.
I took a corpus of text and put it into VosViewer to create a network for me. When I import this .net file into gephi, it works fine: I get a semantic network. Though I'm a little stuck for what attributes to select to import into cytoscape. Here is a CSV file of the network (.net import wouldn't work), and I just need to know which column to select as what.
Each column has the option of being imported as one of the following:
Source Node
Interaction type
Edge Attribute
Source Node Attribute
Target Node Attribute
An option would be to export your network from Gephi in GraphML format and then load it from Cytoscape. This will allow you to forget about the gory conversion details
Just go to File>Export>Graph file and select GraphML under the Files of type: option
Is this the .net format you are using?
https://gephi.org/users/supported-graph-formats/pajek-net-format/
If so, then you can see that the format (like any network file format) requires at least two columns of node identifiers, i.e., source and target. Your screenshot clearly shows the first columns "id" along with some node attributes. The column headers for "weight" and "cluster" are not as clear. My naive guess is that the "weight (occurrences)" column is actually the second list of "target" node ids and the "weight (co-occurrences)" is an edge attribute. But this is just a guess!
If you can deduce the meaning of the columns in your file, then it's a simple matter to assign and import them into Cytoscape for .net or any tabluar file format.
Hope this helps!
I am totally new to Stata and am wondering how to import .xlsx data in Stata. Let's say the data is in the subdirectory Data and has name "a b c.xlsx". So, from working directory, the data is in /Data
I am trying to do
import excel using "\Data\a b c.xlsx", sheet("a")
but it's not working
it's not working
is anything but a useful error report. For future questions, please report the exact error given by Stata.
Let's say the file is in the directory /home/roberto then
clear
set more off
import excel using "/home/roberto/a b c.xlsx"
list
should work.
If you are already in /home/roberto (which you can verify using display c(pwd)), then
import excel using "a b c.xlsx"
should work.
Using backslashes to refer to directories is not encouraged. See Stata tip 65: Beware the backstabbing backslash, by Nick Cox.

Im trying to import data into tables from a file using BTEQ import.
im facing weird errors while doing this
Like:
if im using text file as input data file with ',' as delimiter as filed seperator im getting the error as below:
*** Failure 2673 The source parcel length does not match data that was defined.
or
if im using EXCEL file as input data file im getting the error as below:
* Growing Buffer to 53200
* Error: Import data size does not agree with byte length.
The cause may be:
1) IMPORT DATA vs. IMPORT REPORT
2) incorrect incoming data
3) import file has reached end-of-file.
*** Warning: Out of data.
please help me out by giving the syntax for BTEQ import using txt file as input data file and also the syntax if we use EXCEL file as the input data file
Also is there any specific format for the input data file for correct reading of data from it.
if so please give me the info about that.
Thanks in advance:)
EDIT
sorry for not posting the script in first.
Im new to teradata and yet to explore other tools.
I was asked to write the script for BTEQ import
.LOGON TDPD/XXXXXXX,XXXXXX
.import VARTEXT ',' FILE = D:\cc\PDATA.TXT
.QUIET ON
.REPEAT *
USING COL1 (VARCHAR(2)) ,COL2 (VARCHAR(1)) ,COL3 (VARCHAR(56))
INSERT INTO ( COL1 ,COL2 ,COL3) VALUES ( :COL1 ,:COL2 ,:COL3);
.QUIT
I executed the above script and it is successful using a txt(seperating the fileds with comma) file and giving the datatype as varchar.
sample input txt file:
1,b,helloworld1
2,b,helloworld2
3,D,helloworld1
12,b,helloworld1
I also tried to do the same using tab(\t) as the field seperator but it giving the same old error.
Q) Does this work only for comma seperated txt files?
Please could u tell me where can i find the BTEQ manual...
Thanks a lot
Can you post your BTEQ script? May I also ask why you are using BTEQ instead of FastLoad or MultiLoad?
The text file error is possibly due to the data types declared in the using clause. I believe they need to be declared as VARCHAR when reading delimited input (eg. declare as VARCHAR(10) for INTEGER fields).
As for Excel, I can't find anything in the BTEQ manual that says that BTEQ can handle .xls files.
For your tab delimited files, are you doing this (that's a tab character below)?
.import vartext ' '
Or this?
.import vartext '\t'
The former works, the latter doesn't.
The BTEQ manual that I have is on my work machine. One of the first Google results for "BTEQ manual" should yield one online.
