Export to Fuelly.com

Sorry for the delay, just to follow up, I reviewed the CSV file that was sent to me and even test-uploaded it without any issue on my end.

I have the team trying to track down why it's not going smoothly on your end.

Will report back as soon as we have an answer.

Thank you for your patience!

No worries, I suppose this isn't your day job, so time can be a ***** .

As I replied on the previous page, I managed to import it myself too. The things I changed compared to the csv file I sent you is adding a collumn "km" and filling it with the word "km" on every line, and adding a blank collumn before "price", based on the tips of Ubejani. I don't know which one did the trick, but the combination seems to work anyway.
When I look at the example-csv, neither is there, so I'm still not sure why it worked now, but it did.

Could the formatting be an issue? I saved as csv from Excel. I tried
CSV (Comma delimited) and CSV (DOS), but neither worked at first.
Also when I edited with Notepad++ and saved it didn't work. I'm not sure if encoding was ANSI or UTF8, or if that is even an issue with csv files.

Which didn't work. I'll try to add the column km and add km to each line. I thought you should use either odometer (with the odometer reading in the collumn "odometer") or trip (with the trip reading in the collumn "km")

Too bad I just finished manually typing over all my fillups by hand

This specific example won't import because you have "73,4" in the note field. That comma signals a new field. That entire note field needs to be enclosed in quotes so that comma is not seen as the start of a new field. Did the exported file not have the note field in quotes?

@freddie: yeah I realised that at some point, so I changed all numbers which contained , to . (before also 58.1 l was 58,1 l etc.. I might have missed some commas....
The exported file looks a bit like this:

So it is in quotes like it's supposed to be. Because aCar has so many fields exported and so few can be imported in Fuelly, it took some creative reading and editing in the csv before I was able to import it.

Apparantly something I did was the right trigger, because I succeeded eventually to import my exports (see my previous post in this topic). After this worked, I reformatted the exports from spritmonitor.de following the same logic, and that worked too. In both cases, I didn't use the notes field so I don't know if the , in my previous csv would have been an issue or not.

To much to do just to import wow

Long time aCar user and will one day be a contributing member of these site when I can upload all more old data without any work.

[TobynVivian]

I'm with Crf450r420. I look to computers (and that computer called a phone) to be labor savers. Let me know when my aCar app will work with Fuelly without a degree in computer science and the time it takes to apply it.

any news about the easy way to import from acar? tx

[Boothby171]

I'm just going to wait for FUELLY and aCar to "be on the same page"

Fuelly is nice, but I LOVE aCar! Can't wait until they...blend.

[Crf450r420]

Hope no one was holding their breath. Looks like we will be monitoring all electric cars before the app uploads to the site right.
