How to import (csv) data-set and use the date of the first column for scheduling?

Asked by Jamshed

Hello!

Thank you for the new 1.6 version!

I wonder, if it is possible to use the date in a column of a (csv)-datasheet for scheduling of data.

These are the columns of my simplyfied datasheet:
Date, Pharmacy, Telephone-No.

The given date of the 1st column is the day of the night-shift.
Is there any possibilty to use the date of the first column for scheduling?

There is the new option to import the data of a column as a date, and I am testing, but it doesnt work, so far.

.......EDIT:.............

I found why it wasnt possible to import the data. There were all semikola instead of comma and therefor everthing was added to the fist column.

So there is only the question, if it was possible to use the given date in the column of a sheet for scheduling.

Best regards,

Jamshed

(Furthermore I cannot import my csv-sheet at all properly, at all.

There is a new text "Please choose a column number from the source CSV file to map to each DataSet Column. If no mapping exists, leave blank"

All my csv-data are imported into the fist column (A) only , although I have created the correct number of needed columns and I even set the data-type (date/string).

This happens, too, if I leave everything blank.

Is there any trick to do this?)

Best regards,

Jamshed

It isn't possible to use dataset content for the source of layout
schedules, only their contents

Can you help with this problem?
