Error uploading SEAI BER Public Search data #3

Closed oisindoherty3 closed 3 years ago

oisindoherty3 commented 3 years ago

I used the SEAI's BER Public Search tool https://ndber.seai.ie/BERResearchTool/ber/search.aspx and used the download file from there to upload in zip format. Upon doing this I received the error - "Whoops — something went wrong! An error has been logged."

It appears the way around this is to install 7zip and upload the csv.gz file as a zip file and use that as the input dataset.

Cheers Oisin! The issue here is that the Drag and drop file here widget only expects zipped Small Area BERs (which are only available upon special request from the SEAI) and not the zipped BER Public dataset. As a result it doesn't understand the column names and so cannot read the dataset. If you want to filter the BER Public dataset click Fetch Postcode BERs - I'll add more explanation to the introductory guide at the top of the app!
