Finally! A detailed video for this process.
Thank you so much 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
I was having a hard time finding the Program Data folder on my local disk, so for others who might be having the same issue here's a solution on Windows that worked for me: Click your disk, click the 3 dots next to view, click options, click view, and then click Show hidden files, folders, and drives. After I did that, the Program Data folder showed up!
Thank you you saved me
You have no idea how much this has helped me.
I've been stranded on this for a long while. Lol.
Thanks a ton man
Thank you so much for this insight. You're amazing.
Thank you so much brother... This was so helpful...wasted hours trying to do this
Thank you so much. I have watched a lot of videos, but after watching this video, I finally got it 😊. A new subscriber 🥳🥳
Really thankful for your feedback and motivation!
Hope you enjoy the upcoming content. If you have any suggested topics to discuss, please feel free to suggest it.
Buddy, thank u so much for this video. I got a problem trying to resolve the secure-fiele-priv issue, but I read your comments and I could resolve it. THANKS A LOT.
Grateful that my video helped you!🙏
Great video! Was struggling with a dataset
Thanks!!! the form of the videos and the step by step are really nice!!!
Thank you so much i needed it.
Its impressive, good job.
very good way to explain.
Steps on importing the .csv file from a Mac. I am having trouble locating the same pathways on my Mac. I understand that Macintosh HD is equivalent to C Drive on Windows PC but unable to locate next steps. This has been a great video up to this point as I was struggling to import a very large Excel file.
Hi Sarah! I've been looking for someone that had the same problem as me! Would you mind explaining how you fixed it?
Hey I do also have same problem uploading my data on mac
Thank you for this video but I am getting this error when I am saving that file in mysql data folder " you don't have permission to save in this location contact the administrator to obtain permission" How to resolve this issue
What if mysql server is not on local computer? I keep getting the error: "Access denied for user..."
This is so helpful, thank you so much. God bless you.
Thanks aĺot for such feedback
Still having issues. My dataset does has lot of null values and its not a calculated field you can easily apply formula. How do I import this file with the nulls
Thank you so much, you solved my problem !!!!
So, how to do it on a MAC? it's hidden in the system set
Thanks for making this video.
as a data analyst,it’s possible that just import all excel data to mysql and query data as we need without learning excel ?
Thank you for the video. But, I couldn't find "DATA" inside the mysql server. All I have are bin, docs, etc, include, lib, share … please how can I fix this?
It seems that you go to wrong directory.
You must go to local disk C - ProgramData - MYSQL - MYSQL server and there you will find your folder.
Is it possible to import data from excel to MYSQL on regularly ?
What if I have multiple tables? I have a large csv and my database has 9 tables. How do I go about inserting the appropriate data into the right tables?
You have to repeat the process explained in the video for each table until you insert all tables.
If you have some tables with few rows, you can use another quick method which is the table data import wizard. You can find its explanation in another video on my channel.
During importing, make sure to start by the tables with minimum dependents.
For example, if you have 2 tables. One has only a primary key and the other has a primary and foreign key. You must begin by importing the first.
Good luck!
Everything went well until the last step. While trying to execute load data I file step, getting error code 1290. Can anyone please help me with it.
Hello Suvarna,

I have gone through all the steps, it's not returning an error, just '0 rows affected'
I've done everything.
I'm facing issue while importing CSV file but there is an error that it's is not accepting character like $€¥°^®© these are the charector is not accepting and showing error
Question, did you have to modify the config file for the secur file to an empty string?
Yes, this is to avoid the secure file priv error while importing
Hi! what happens if I have blanks in my CSV file, this is because I still don't have any data to fill in those specific cells, this is going to affect my importing?
Thank you!
Hi there, yes it may affect your importing if the blanks cells contains unseen characters or spaces as it may be different from the data type you specify for the column. Try to clean your data as much as possible, then when you import your data try to use the update statement to set all blank cells to NULL and everything will be OK.
Good luck and inform me with the updates!
finally i got what i was looking ffrom past 3 hours!
doubt: i have imported data first, how can i assign datatype to the columns?
You can find the detailed steps to modify your columns datatype in this link
www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_alter.asp
Thank you greatly for your explanation! I have one problem running the last bit of code - it generates this error: The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement. Maybe you know anything about this? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!
Thank you very much for your feedback and support!
You need to go to MYSQL Workbench and write "SHOW VARIABLEA LIKE "secure-file-priv"
This will return one row with 2 columns, in your case, you will a path in the second column.
You have to go to ProgramData folder in local disk C then go to MYSQL then MYSQL server and there you will find a file named 'my'. Open it in Notepad and using ctrl+F for "secure-file-priv" delete the path written and leave it with empty string. Then, you need to restart your device and here you can go ahead and import your data successfully.
Good luck and please inform me with the updates!
@@AnalyticsExplorers I am getting the below error when tried to save the doc after assigning secure-file-priv to empty string:
"You don't have permission to open this file. See the owner of the file or an admin to obtain permission"
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I am working on the Google analystics Case Study, there are over 1million rows in some of the CSV files. When I use MYsql Workbench to upload, this takes several hours. Is that normal?
1 million rows can be very large number indeed, but I guess several hours is a very big. You may divide the file into parts and load every part separately.
Make sure to use the load data infile statement or pandas method
how can I edit tha datas within the table?
Can we also use this method for importing few columns, not the full table?
Yes!
You simply can copy the specified columns to be imported and paste them into new separate file and save it as csv file to apply the video steps on it.
Good luck!
When i clicked ctrl+enter this error is coming. Error Code: 29. File 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\ProgramDataMySQLMySQL Server 8.0databasescustomers_dataset.csv' not found (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory). but the path is correct.
Make sure not to use the symbol "\" between folders in the file path. Use either "/" or "\\".
You lost me at the part where you 'pasted' on the file path. What did you paste because I didn't see you copy anything prior to that?
I Just pasted the file path to be imported in my database. To do this go to the folder where your file is located and from the upper bar in your computer click on the folder name and copy it
Please confirm if any columns have blank space then will mysql successfully import data or not
Becuase i have 1 million records to import and cant check each column for blank space
It depends on the type of the column being imported.
If you are importing a string (Varchar) column it won't cause any problems but it can in case of integers for example.
You can use excel function to clean the columns before import.
For example, you can use the Trim function with numbers or integers to clean up any empty space which is unneeded.
I don't have the folder named 'Program Data' in the local disk C, how can I find it ?
The file may be hidden. Make sure to show all files.
But it is showing error saying server is running with secure server file priv option. What shld i do

Error Code: 1292. Incorrect date value: '2020' for column 'date_added' at row 1 I still keep getting this error even thought I updated my data dates from yyyy-mm-dd
I have a table with 34 columns and 600000 rows. Can I import this data into mysql?
You can do something good. you can divide your table into 2 parts, one part contains the columns' titles and few rows and the other part contains the remaining rows.
You can use the Table Data import wizard method to quickly import the first small part where MYSQL will define all columns data types by itself "You can watch this method's steps on my Channel by the way".
Now you have the table created and its columns are well defined. You can use this video method (LOAD DATA INFILE STATEMENT) to import the second remaining part.
Good Luck!

Error Code: 2068. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE file request rejected due to restrictions on access
Hi,
sorry for our late reply.
Your problem can be solved through the following steps:
1- open MYSQL workbench
2- Go to the connection Tab.
3- Right Click and choose Edit Connection
4- Go to the "Advanced" Sub Tab
5- you will find a box "Others", Copy this sentence "OPT_LOCAL_INFILE=1" and paste it there.
6- Restart your device.
Now, your problem should be solved. Good luck and inform us with the updates.

Hello i've same problem, can you solved it ?
When I load the data infile, i'm getting this error
Error: Data truncated for column 'sales' at row 1
Error Code: WARN_DATA_TRUNCATED
How to deal with this?
Also, when we save the file in csv format the datatype we changed does not save. How does mysql understand the datatype then?
Hello,
Your problem can be because you use the actual delimiter of your file inside a certain column of the table.
I mean that if you have a csv file (comma separated), the problem will occur if you have a comma inside any column other than the delimiter.
That helped, I removed the column that contained commas. Thanks a lot. But I have a follow up question now.
Say I have a column where there are multiple words separated by comma's (just like in the above case). How can I import or export such a file with such a column through MySQL
One thing that I can think of is replacing the commas in the column with hyphen (or some other character). Do we have any better solution in this case?@@AnalyticsExplorers
@@new_moon_12 Great question!
We surely have another better situation which is to convert the csv file to semi-colon delimited for example. Changing the delimiter will truly solve all your problems. Give it a try and inform me with the updates. Good luck!

Must I clean my data in excel before importing to MySQL
Yes of course, cleaning your data is very important to efficient importing to MYSQL.
if your create a table with a column that contains dates, and there are some cells that have incorrect date formats. This will raise an error while importing and more errors can happen for different situations.
So clean your data as much as you can.
It cannot work for me. Any other suggestion for importing large data.
Can you explain the problem you had in more detail?
Thanakxx
Everything worked fine until when I go to Program Data-- My SQL-- My SQL Server-- Data. Data folder is not opening only... What could be the reason ?
I got the same problem. Instead of opening the Data folder directly, follow the same path as he showing in the video. i.e, Excel file -- save as -- local disk c -- programdata -- mysql -- mysqlserver 8.0 -- Data . Then there will be a dialog box appear for getting the access . click yes. then we can open data folder .
what if there is 50 columns typing every one would be very annoying . is there a better way of doing it ?

how to load csv file having blank cells
Hi there,
While you are creating your table using the create table statement, if you have a column with empty cells make its datatype as text. After you already imported your table, use the update statement to replace any empty cell by NULlL as
(Update [tablename]
Set [Columename] = NULL
Where [Columnname] = "")
After that you can change your column datatype to the right type you want.
Best of luck!
