  Import CSV file to Dashboards Direct

  Posted by dfallon on October 28, 2021 at 12:00 am

  There was a recent question from a reader on importing csv files into kdb.  How is this best achieved with Dashboards Direct?

  • If you haven’t already, install Dashboards Direct.
  • Save your CSV file into the /sample/data directory of your Dashboard Direct install folder
  • Update the demo.q file in the /sample directory to include details of the CSV file you want to import; you can source the kdb type you need for each data format here.

  kdbname: (“kdbtypeforeachcolumnincsv”; enlist “,”) 0: `$”:sample/data/csvfilename.csv”;

  • Restart Dashboards.
  • You can check for the file on localhost:6812, or add a component and in the data editor search for the data source name (kdbname) you assigned in the demo.q file.
