Importing CSV File

[Torin78]

Hi, i am trying to import a csv file such:

345,Fernandez,"{id:4r34,add:calle,ape:feraa}"

I´ve imported the file with SQL Server Management Studio and it Worked perfect, putting this {id:4r34,add:calle,ape:feraa} in a field.

The quotation Charecter is " and field Separatos is ,

Furthermore in ADF does not work fine, it split in this {id:4r34 in a field, this in another field add:calle and so on...

Do you know how can i import properly this file with ADF?

Thank you

Hi @Torin78 ,

i think you can use a Derived Column transformation to create a new column that parses the JSON string.You can use the parse function to convert the JSON string into a structured format.

If your JSON strings are nested, use the Flatten transformation to break down the JSON into individual columns.

Add a Sink transformation to write the transformed data to your desired destination. You can also use this JSON code and have a look at this topic: azure data factory - ADF Copy activity to handle csv files with json fields - Stack Overflow

{
  "type": "DerivedColumn",
  "name": "ParseJSON",
  "derivedColumns": [
    {
      "name": "ParsedJSON",
      "expression": "parse({YourJSONColumn})"
    }
  ]
}

Hi @Torin78 ,

Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Define the Source Dataset:
In ADF, create a dataset for your CSV file.
Ensure that the Column Delimiter is set to , and the Quote Character is set to ".
2. Use Data Flow:
Create a Data Flow in ADF.
Add a Source transformation and connect it to your CSV dataset.
In the Source settings, ensure that the Quote Character is set to ".
