Re: [libreoffice-users] export data from Calc, import to Base
Thanks for all the good tips. I have it working. This last one from Robert works, too. I had tried it before but for some reason only one record was imported that time. Anyway, good this time, although patience was needed to import more than 7000 records (felt like a minute, maybe only half).

Re: [libreoffice-users] export data from Calc, import to Base
Hi Harvey, mark the content. Copy it to clipboard. Go to the database file and open the tables pane. Right mousclick → insert. Choose the table where to append the data to, choose the column in the wizard and it will be done. You won't need a *.csv-file and phpMyAdmin to do this the same way for MariaDB/MySQL.

Re: [libreoffice-users] export data from Calc, import to Base
Hi Harvey, my answer is older and I have not checked, whether the methods still work, but perhaps you try it? https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/2011/msg02407.html Kind regards Regina Harvey Nimmo schrieb am 08.08.2022 um 21:16: Dear formum, I believe my objective should be rather simple, but I need to be pointed in the right direction.

This will then save your spreadsheet as a csv file. When you import the csv into Base you may have to configure the type and format for each of the fields you are importing. regards, Steve -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
