Excel Tools

Hi All,

We are currently on Appian 20.2 and Excel Tools (v2.2.9). I have observed below depreacted Appian APIs are being used in the plug-in (From Health Check Report).

Excel Tools (com.appiancorp.ps.exceltools) references private and deprecated Appian APIs

Could you please let me know if they have any impact on smart services or functions of the plug-in?

Thank you.

Hi All,

using 'Import CSV to Database' i need to add extra columns values into table that are not present in csv;

I can't add this extracolumns into csv file.

How i can import cvs fie into a table and add for each row additional information ? 

In case i import the same csv file twice,  i need to differenziare rows of first import from rows fron second import.

I note 'Import Excel to Database' have additional params as 'New Columns' 'New Columns values' , but i cant use it because i need to parse CSV file and not excel file

Best regards, Saverio
