Empty CSV File

WalterDziuba — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 14:21:05 GMT

Published a feature service to ArcGIS Online with a .csv file attached. Although I can see the table in my map ie. column header, none of the values in the first column appear. I'm not using it for mapping purposes, but just to show a list of plants.

The .csv only has one column and 26x plant names.

Does your csv file has headers? It should have…

What is the name of the column? I recommend reading “Field naming guidelines” at http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//005s0000000t000000

What is your Encoding? I’m using Unicode (UTF-8).

My .csv file does have one header called "NatVeg"

If it's just storing basic text, do you need to apply the Unicode (UTF-8)?

I'll try the unicode and see what happens.

Thanks for your reply Rui

Rui,

Saved my .csv to Unicode (.txt) and then used Notepad to save as (UTF-8).

But when I access my web map, the table is empty, although it still counts the entries it has which is 26x.
