Importing Data

note

iNZight expects spreadsheet-like data in which the first row of cells contain the names of variables and everything in the column beneach a variable name is data recorded on that variable.

Attempting to import invalid data will result in an error.

Lite disconnects when I load data on a Mac

If you try to import a dataset that iNZight Lite cannot read, it may disconnect. A common issue among macOS users is trying to import a .numbers file instead of a .csv. iNZight cannot read .numbers files, so you must import the .csv.

Within macOS Numbers, you can save/export the file as a CSV file by

  • opening the File menu > Export to > CSV
  • open Advanced Options and be sure to check UTF-8 as the Text Encoding
  • click Next, and choose a location to save the file
  • finally, click Export
