Failed to publish csv

CrystalKingery — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 19:34:42 GMT

I am trying to import a CSV file to Explorer Online.

CSV: 13 columns, 835 records/rows - I have address, city, state and zip as columns but no lat and long
Error received: Failed to publish csv. One or more errors occurred

I though maybe since it was over 250 records (what exactly are the limits?) I tried it again with this:

CSV: 13 columns, 250 records/rows
Error received: Failed to publish csv. Object reference not set to an instance of an object

These error messages do not tell me anything, what is really wrong with the CSV file?

Hi,

Sorry to hear that you are having problems and I agree that the error message is useless - there is nothing i can glean from this message to be able to help you establish the cause of the problem. Would it be possible to post your csv so that I can investigate further?

The geocode limit is 250 records

The Explorer help contains more information about uploading csv and on the limits:

Hi Michelle - one thing you can check is that there's no empty fields within your data (e.g. one row is missing some data) - I think I had problems importing data like that. Otherwise, if you just post your CSV file here we can check it out for you (you can email directly if you dont want to post the data publically - sgill at esri.com).

Hi
I'm having the same "failed to publish csv" problem.
219 waypoints, 9 columns, UTM co-ords in separate columns, elevations notes etc.
I want to plot the data on the standard topographic base map
I copied the csv file below.

Explorer Online supports importing coordinates in degrees of latitude and longitude using a geographic coordinate system - I'm afraid it does not support using different types of coordinate systems, such as UTM.
