How to convert Google Sheets to import seed data

To import data in to our cloud system you must export data into a tab-delimited file. Below will create a file with a name ending in the ".txt" extension. This is the file you should submit.

If you're using Google Sheets:

  1. From the File menu, select Download as then select Tab-separated values (.tsv, current sheet). This will download the currently selected sheet as a tab-separated .TSV file, inheriting the name of your spreadsheet. Select the Save as... or Save File As... command from your browser's File menu.
  2. Name your file, and be sure to specify the file type as a Text File (*.txt) if it gives you the option. Click Save.
  3. If using a MAC, tight mouse click and select get info, in Name & Extension change the file name to .txt and then Save
  4. Upload file to using the import button in the seed data tab of the Easy RFID Pro cloud console.
