Did something change in the data importer?
-
I'm fairly certain that I used to be able to click on the Export CSV for a data source, open in excel, make some point changes and then copy paste the result in the config import section, select CSV and import that. It doesn't like that anymore however, it claims it can't find the first column
Invalid header format, first column must be modelType.
Am I wrong? Here's a snippet of the data I'm trying to import
modelType xid name enabled deviceName dataSourceXid readPermission setPermission templateXid unit useIntegralUnit integralUnit useRenderedUnit renderedUnit pointLocatorType dataType settable relinquishable isMapping toXid fromIdentifier DATA_POINT ACCT_7031675000_kWh ACCT_7031675000_kWh TRUE KRP - 11 Hines Rd DS_HOL_Data_Import FALSE s FALSE PL.DATA_FILE NUMERIC FALSE FALSE FALSE ACCT_7031675000_kWh

Looks like your excel might have changed the CSV format to tab delimiter. Open in a text editor to confirm that if it is comma delimited.
Edit: Change to using office libre and you'll never struggle with CSVs again :)

Hmm that's interesting, that seems to be a new behaviour for Excel 365 cause my process hasn't changed, I always used to use Excel. Curious...
K thanks, at least there's an explanation :)
