CSV import + data cleanup wizard

Open joepio opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

The problem

We have a table editor that is great for manual data creation and lots of ways to use that data, but importing tabular data is a different ballgame. We have support for copy / paste from Excel (using HTML tables in the background), but thats not perfect:

  • Data can be lost if fields are not compatible
  • Requires users to model the data before pasting it
  • Difficult to use for large amounts of data

CSV importer

We should make a tool that:

  • Imports a CSV file
  • Recognizes column names
  • Detects data types
  • Shows a UI to make changes
  • Walks over data
  • Fixes issues / asks user for input on how to fix issues
