Re: ? upload csv - I have problems with the cvs import feature

[sf pfg dk]

I tried to import plain tables that I created with Excel. I opened the  
tables in Openoffice and Gnumeric without problems. Then I saved them  
in the cvs format. Actually these two cvs files differ from each  
other. But Glom fails to import both of them. The failure is partial,  
since around 1/4 of the records are correctly loaded.
I believed that the different cvs formats was an issue, therefore I  
created a dummy table whit Glom and exported it as a cvs file. This  
should reveal the cvs formatting adopted by Glom. In fact the Glom cvs  
format differ from the previous two. But unfortunately, when I tried  
to re-import the cvs file generated with Glom in Glom it self, the  
operation failed since many fields where misinterpreted, although all  
the records have been loaded.

So, I have two question, a practical one and a general one:

 - Which format is suitable to import data in Glom?

 - Why Glom is not compatible with the cvs format chosen in Gnumeric?

It would be kind of you to address at least one question, preferably  
the first one.
I look forward to your answer.

Kind regards
Stig
