And then you don't want that to count as some kind of long dive”. -== APPENDIX E: Creating a .CSV file from Libreoffice Calc. - -Many divers keep a diving log in some form of a digital file, commonly a spreadsheet with various fields of information. These logs can be easily imported into _Subsurface_ (xref:S_ImportingManualCSV[Importing dives from_manually kept CSV file]), after the spreadsheet is converted in a .CSV file. -This section explains the procedure to convert a diving logbook stored in a spreadsheet to a .CSV file that will later be imported from _Subsurface_. -Creating a .CSV is a straightforward task, although the procedure will somewhat be different according to which spreadsheet program is used. -In this example, Libreoffice Calc will be used, but the procedure should be the same in OpenOffice. The procedure for Microsoft Excel users should also be similar. - -=== Organize data on the spreadsheet -The first step is to organize the diving data on the spreadsheet, so that the first row contains the names of each field and all each dive is stored on a single row. -_Subsurface_ does not require any particular fields, but supports several (Dive #, Date, Time, Duration, Location, GPS, Max Depth, Mean Depth, Buddy, Notes, Weight and Tags). -The user can organize diving metadata according to a few simple rules: - -1. Date: the users should use one of the following formats: yyyy-mm-dd, dd.mm.yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy -2. Duration: the format should be minutes:seconds. In Libreoffice Calc this should be: [mm]:ss -3. Unit system: only one unit system shold be used (i.e., no mixture between imperial and metric units) -4. Tags and buddies: values should be separated with a “,” -5.

In order to do that, user must click _File_ and _Save As_. On the dialogue that comes up, select the “_Text CSV (.csv)_” as the file type and select the option “_Edit filter settings_”. - -image::images/save_as_options.jpg["FIGURE: Save as options",align="center"] - -After clicking _Save_, select the appropriate field delimiter (choose {Tab} to prevent conflicts with the “comma”) and select _OK_. - -image::images/field_options.jpg["FIGURE: Field options",align="center"] - -That should be it. You can double check the .CSV file by opening it with a text editor, and then import you diving data as explained on the section xref:S_ImportingManualCS[Importing dives from_manually kept CSV file]. |
