Uploading Weekly Data
I am trying to upload the weekly unemployment data and keep getting "Import field separator could not be identified." I have the data in proper date;data format. Is it because the dates are just weekly? Do I need to included all weekday dates for the import to work properly? Thanks...Tags: None

I have imported data the same way before. I set it up in Excel, save a .csv, then open in Notebook, change "," to ";" and save as .txt. with the name being the same as the new symbol I created (In this case: WKUNEMP. Here is a sample:
19710102;303000
19710109;288000
19710116;299000
19710123;312000
19710130;292000
19710206;296000
I use Historical Data Manger>Import to find the file and import. This time, I cannot get it to import. From this bit a info, any ideas?

I see - Thanks for the clarification. Imported historical data must follow the format indicated here:
Although your data is weekly, there is no specific weekly format - they're built from daily bars. It doesn't require a separate item for each day, so you're good there. What you will have to do is add values for all the fields it's looking for. In this case, OHLC and Volume.
Example:
19710102;303000;303000;303000;303000;0
Daily Bars Format
Each bar must be on its own line and fields must be separated by semicolon (. Only 1 day bars can be imported.
The format is:
yyyyMMdd;open price;high price;low price;close price;volume
Sample data:
20061023;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;86
20061024;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;27
20061025;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;1377.25;24
20061026;1377.50;1377.50;1377.25;1377.25;82Ryan M.NinjaTrader Customer Service
