Import Remote CSV with Magmi getting Error

Question

I tried several times to import a remote CSV file from the supplier with Magmi. If I download the CSV file and open it with OpenOffice and save it again with Duoble Quotes, than it works fine. Seems that the supplier provides me an Excel (saved with Mixcrosoft Excel). Any idea how I can configure this in the right way in Magmi, so it will be processed in the right way. Thanks.

Answer 1

Under the Configure Profile > Datasources section in Magmi, you will find a section labeled CSV options .

By default, the following values are:

CSV separator: ,
CSV Enclosure: "

You can simply change these to match the formatting of your CSV. In your case, their are no double quote enclosures, so you can leave the CSV Enclosure field blank and update your profile.

Keep in mind though that descriptions containing commas , may cause header/column mismatch errors. Make sure you're escaping these correctly for Magmi to process.
