How do I allow blank columns in a .CSV file?
I have a faily basic excel worksheet that I am saving as a csv file. The file
contains c400 rows and 15 columns. The last 5 columns of data are currently empty. When I save the file and open it in Notepad to check it is ok, I can see that only the first 15 rows are being saved correctly and that the rest are not producing the required 5 commas (to depict the empty columns) as they should. See below for a paste of the Notepad file. You can see the 5 commas at the end of records 14 and 15 but not for subsequent rows where there are no commas: LOR991587,Fred Bloogs,Male,United Kingdom,Cleveland,LOR ,Fr ed,Engineering Surveyor,Male,22/05/1957,United Kingdom,,,,,, LOR991588,Fred, Grogrs,Male,United Kingdom,Essex,LOR ,Fred fred,Project Director,Male,03/02/1955,United Kingdom,,,,,, LOR991589,Janice, JolinMale,United Kingdom,Hertfordshire,LOR m,Janice Joplin,Senior Quantity Surveyor,Male,18/10/1957,United Kingdom LOR991590,Julian, Jolpi,Male,United Kingdom,Norfolk,LOR m,Julian Jolpi,Regional Commercial Manager,Male,29/08/1958,United Kingdom I have tried entering data into the last row/last column but this only seems to correct the 2/3 rows above. Any help appreciated! |
