We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hello!
I have a problem with importing data from CSV files. I want to import some tables that have multiple data within one cell, for example the format is like this
Feature1
Feature 2
Feature 3
When I import the CSV I select the column als "Multi line edit" but the format is not correct, only when I edit the data and press save again, the data shows correctly.
I have recorded a video for you
Is there any way to avoid this step shown in the video? Because we want to import a lot of these tables and it will be additional work for our content team.
The example CSV is attached here, too.
What do you suggest? Maybe there's another way to work with such a CSV?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Jannik Lindner
Hi, Jannik
Thanks for reaching out to us
- I see what you mean.
Yes, this is the current default behaviour for a use-case like that,
when we import data from CSV or Excel files or Spreadsheets,
as far as i know, the only workaround you can do is to format the source data from the cells of the CSV to have HTML <br> tags in places where you need new lines, because our string columns render HTML,
so that can make the source output with the new lines automatically,
without the need to go in each cell and align them in a multi-line editor, as shown on your video.
Here is my Video where i demonstrate one cell with adding the HTML <br> tags, and how it renders during the import https://watch.screencastify.com/v/MA7jaIBcIkBMuC6O99Nm
Let me know if that helps, and in the meantime, i will also check with our 2nd level Team if we have any better workarounds.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
