But I am absolutely unable to get any usefull result. I have tried several options to do formating during input, but in every case Mathematica 8 puts several csv-columns into one result-column. Because the csv-data contains germany encoding, I have tried several conversion options, but nothing helps. Here is a snapshot of the csv-data (one headline two datalines): --------------------- cut here ------------------------ ID;KONTO_NR;KONTO_BEZ;BELEG_DAT;BELEG_NR;GKTO_NR;GKTO_BEZ;BU_TEXT;SOLL;HABE= N ;Buchsaldo;WAEHRUNG;Faelligkeit;Anfangsbestand;Ausgeblendet;Changed;InsoBas= e User;BuJahr 1;;;;;;;;7807477,41;6986382,79;,00;;;False;False;2010-11-01 10:24:09.997;KDLB\Conrad; 2;D_60004;Jeske, Norbert 23966 Hof Triwalk;2008-01-01;;S_09008;Vortrag;EB-Werte durch AIS TaxAudit berechnet und erstellt;387,37;,00;387,37;EUR;;True;True;2010-11-01 10:24:09.997;KDLB\Conrad; --------------------- cut here ------------------------ I have tried the following import-command (and several versions of it), but did not get useful import-result: imp == Import["test.csv", "Table", "FieldSeparators" -> ";", "DateStringFormat" -> { "Year", "-", "Month", "-", "Day"}, "CharacterEncoding" -> "ASCII", "HeaderLines" -> 1] ; For me it looks like the CSV-Importer is unable to detect NULL-Values (;;)?!? By the way reading the data into excel, writing a resulting xls-file and importing the xls-file into mathematica works out of the box, but I can't go this way because there are more than 200000 datalines, and Excel did not support such a great amount and Mathematica was unable to import Excel-2010-Formated xlsx-Data (ods didn't works also because of the great amount of data). Any help would be highly appreciated Kind regards Andre -- Andre Koppel Software GmbH Prinz-Handjery-Str. 38 14167 Berlin Tel.: (+4930) 810 09 190 Fax: (+4930) 326 01 046 www.invep.de www.akso.de Eingetragen beim Amtsgericht Berlin Charlottenburg HRB92600 Gesch=E4ftsf=FChrer Andre Koppel
