: "SYMB","MM/DD/YY",NAV,??,??,HH,LL,VV Is it right ?

: Can I import Open-price with *.csv file ?

: Thanks for your kindly help !!!

Hi Tony,

CSV files can come in a variety of formats, the name CSV just means
that the fields are delimited by a comma, but what fields, and their
order can be anything.

In the example above the two fields in question are change from prior
and 'open' I believe, so you would import this with the generic import
string:

"SYMB","MM/DD/YY",NAV,XX,OO,HH,LL,VV,XX

the change field won't be imported, it is skipped, but the open field will
if you use the above format. You can see the imported data using "Edit/
All Data..." with the "Prices" data type selected.

Thanks,
Mark
