Empty cells when exporting #85

Closed woopelaye closed 6 years ago

woopelaye commented 6 years ago

When I fetch data (Twitter), all the information is fetched BUT when I export, some random cells appears to be empty (see screenshot)

It's weird because it really seems random and it makes it a bit useless. See screenshot. Thanks!

Strange, I cannot reproduce this. Could you please write down the exact steps to reproduce it? This would be of great help.

Looks like you used the "wide format" export option. Does this happen without this option, too?

woopelaye commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the quick answer, yes it does the same thing with the «Wide format» option

What I do is this: image

Custom tables: id text user.name user.screen_name user.description user.location lang user.followers_count user.friends_count retweet_count created_at

then I add a keyword as a Node, select the node than fetch data.

After that, I select the parent Node and click EXPORT with the following settings: image

Here is the result file (with some cleaned up columns) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JQ7n_VlMfxztLrCecrrRVks1bSjEI6OU_XpzpUL1wu0/edit?usp=sharing

Hint: It does that only with twitter, I've tried some presets with FB and it export perfectly

Thank you for the details. I still can't reproduce this. Can you give me the exported csv-file (without modification)?

And did you try not to check the wide-format option?

woopelaye commented 6 years ago

Hello there. I found the problem and it's Google Spreadsheets fault. It fails to export CSV correctly. Tried with Open Office and it works like a charm!

You can close this 💃 and a big big thanks for your help. This piece of software is perfect
