The Import from file dialog, waiting for a file.
Import your file
1
Open the dialog
On Tables, choose the Import from file card. You can also click New and pick Import from file.
2
Add your file
Drag a file onto the dialog, or click to choose one. Oneprofile reads
.csv and .xlsx, the first row becomes the column names, and files must be under 50MB.3
Check the mapping, then create the table
Fix anything Oneprofile guessed wrong, then click Create table.
- Edit a name in its box, change a wrong Type, or untick a column to leave it out.
- The mapping shows only the start of a few values. Click the expand icon on a column to read all of them.
- Table name starts as the file’s name. Rows to import starts at as many of the file’s rows as your table can hold, so lower it to add fewer.
Choose a sheet
A workbook can hold several sheets, so a Sheet dropdown appears above the mapping when yours does. Pick the sheet holding your data. Each sheet has its own columns, so switching starts the mapping again. Set the sheet first, then edit names and types.Good to know
Which file formats can I import?
Which file formats can I import?
CSV files and Excel workbooks saved as
.xlsx.Older .xls workbooks are refused, and Oneprofile says so. Open one in Excel, save it as .xlsx, and import that.What is the dialog doing with my file?
What is the dialog doing with my file?
While it reads, the drop area says Reading the file…. A large file takes a moment. That message means it is working rather than stuck.
Why is a column from my workbook empty?
Why is a column from my workbook empty?
Two reasons, and Oneprofile names both above the mapping.Cells holding an Excel error such as
#N/A come in blank, so one broken formula does not turn a whole column into text.Formulas your file has never calculated also come in blank, because the workbook carries no result for them. Open the file in Excel, save it, and import again.How do I see every value in a column?
How do I see every value in a column?
The expand icon on a column is labelled See all sample values. It opens a dialog titled Sample values for ”…”, with the column’s name in place of the ellipsis.The dialog lists every sampled value with its row number, and names how many rows of the file it is showing. Click Close when you are done.
What if my file has more rows than my plan holds?
What if my file has more rows than my plan holds?
Oneprofile names the file’s size and how many rows your plan holds per table, then adds only the rows up to that limit.
An Upgrade chip sits next to the message and takes you to raise the limit.
Why is Create table greyed out?
Why is Create table greyed out?
It stays disabled until the mapping is valid, and the dialog names what is wrong. You will see “Include at least one column.” or “Every included column needs a name.” A column name used twice is called out by name.Table name cannot be blank either. Clearing it puts “The table needs a name.” under the field.
