Can't import data from a CSV file

Former Member over 5 years ago

I am trying to import some data from a CSV file. I have used a Simple Weight Tracker from where I exported a CSV file. Unfortunately, when I try to upload it in the Garmin Connect Web, I get the following message: "An error occurred with your upload. Please try again.". There isn't any weight data in the Garmin account, so that can't be the problem. I tried everything:

1. Try:

"Date","Weight"
"2018-12-20","66.3"

2. Try:

Date,Weight
2018-12-20,66.3

3. Try:

Date,Weight
"2018-12-20","66.3"

Can somebody tell me how the first two rows of a correct CSV file should look like? I tried also uploading XLS, XLSX and CSV, none of them worked...

    You have to add the line 'Body' at the top. 

    This is a sample data, but the file can also contain just the date and weight columns, the other columns are not mandatory:

    Body
Date,Weight,BMI,Fat
01-11-2019,77.5,25.84,0
    ...

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Same error message, I tried also importing just one year data, nothing works. When I open the CSV in Notepad, it looks like this:

    Body
    Date,Weight
    2018-12-20,66.3

    I really don't get what is wrong Disappointed

    OK, I just tested it again. So I was wrong when telling the other fields are not mandatory. Sorry for the confusion. Keep them there, just set the values to zero. It works then
