Hi Sierra,

I would like to report a problem when using Text/CSV Data Format.

Basically nothing gets displayed, after Importing the CSV, regardless if Daily or Intraday Data.

I Read and followed the Instructions bellow
Exporting and Importing Intraday Data Files
Text/CSV Data Format: Supported Data Line Formats

When using Example (saved as CSV) from:
Text/CSV Data Format: Example for Daily Data
I get the following error

When using Example (saved as CSV) from:
Text/CSV Data Format: Example for Intraday Data
I get the following error

Am I missing something or is there indeed a BUG displaying this?

Thanks for looking into it.

Regards

Both the images of the error are blank, so we are not seeing the error. Please give us the information on the error you are seeing and when you are receiving it.

Sorry for the confusion, the screen gets blank after a few seconds displaying "Symbol settings not found for current service".
My Service is "no service", as described in the manual.

Bellow once again all the steps and the resulting error:

Sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner. The issue is simply that you need to have one more line at the end of the file. Just edit the file and put a return at the end of the current last line and then it will be fine.
