Batch Import?
August 8, 2008 11:05 AM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

I've been saving my fuel economy for years. With these new tracker sites I've been finding, one feature is sorely missing - the ability to batch import old data into a new platform. I could format an xls,csv, or tab delimited text file and then be off and running.

Otherwise there's no real reason for me to switch a service I'm already grandfathered into, no matter how much I like it.

Yes, we are working on uploadable data, probably have something early next week.

I'm seconding this - I thought that I might just enter in the data by hand, but then I realized that I've got somewhere around 75 fill-ups and I don't particularly feel like doing all that data entry unless I'm paid at least minimum wage for it.

I've got all my data in an excel spreadsheet and could easily convert it to a csv it whatever format, given an example spreadsheet.

Looking forward to this one as I have a year of fillups that I don't much want to retype...

Agreed. I've been using a winmo/win32 program called Auto 3-in-1, that realistically I'd like to move away from, but without importing capabilities, I'm less inclined to use Fuelly. Oh, and I'd also like to suggest export to csv as well. My data is my data, after all. :)

Oh yeah, and your manual add page only goes back to 2006? I was going to start entering things manually anyway (145 fillups isn't that much, right??) but I can't. Also, partial fill support!
