Hydrator Error #131

Closed Bgerrity9 closed 2 years ago

Bgerrity9 commented 2 years ago

Hello, When I attempt to upload a csv file, I am getting an "error- invalid tweet ID on line 1" pop up window. I have no idea how to get around this, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

What does row 1 of your CSV look like? Note, it should be a file of just numbers, no column headers or other things:

13434324324234324
098947209029207027
02348098403985091

Thanks for the response, unfortunately I can't send a screenshot through here. But, If I was to open the excel file from the cvs file I have 2 columns, the first is the tweet ID and the 2nd is what I believe to be the sentiment score.

These data sets are ones I obtained from dataport regarding covid sentiment, that other researchers appear to have hydrated as well.

I would advise against this. Excel corrupts IDs unfortunately, so if you're trying to modify the CSV somehow i'd recommend Google sheets instead.

Your id file needs to have one tweet id per line and no other information.

Noted, I won't open the files in excel, thanks. As the files have 2 columns, what do you suggest doing? .. When I select a tweet ID file straight into the hydrator without opening it, the same issue arises. Right now I am opening the file with "7-Zip File manager"

That will need some extra work - importing it into Google sheets, removing the extra columns and headers, and then exporting it as a CSV there should work.
