Double quotation marks got inserted when importing a list

[alik98709228]

Hello,

I am importing a txt file/list with the following values:

digital_values

12,000

10,000

But system is inserting double quotation marks when I finish importing and the data looks like this:

digital_values

"12.000"

"10,000"

See attached screenshot as well. How do I prevent this?

Any idea?

Thanks!

Hello AK,

I don't know how you import the file, but usually, with standard import, you have to setup it.

First, when you setup the imported file you can use the auto detection functionality.

The, , you'll find a link like "Click here to change the file format".

Select you column 'digital_values', and change the data type to put it in number and not string.

Also, if your file has headers, check the option for it.

Hi @alik98709228 ,

I guess you are using a data loading activity here.

When you set it up by default it sets the data type as string and hence you are seeing double quotes.

If the "Auto-detect Format" doesn't work you need to click on "click here to change the file format"(as mentioned by Cedric) and change the data type as required.

Thanks,

Deb
