Massive import

As mentioned in a previous post, you can now import a massive number of measures in your Withings dashboard. It is very useful for people who were already monitoring their weight before buying a Withings scale.

Todo so, you first need to create a CSV file. It is easy to do with a software like Excel. The only constraint is that is has to respect a mandatory format. For instance, the file must have 6 columns without any title; the delimiter (to separate the data) is a comma or a semicolon, etc …

The easiest way to create a correct CSV file is to take a look at the CSV file you get when you export your data. To download one, connect on your account and click on “My account”. Then go to “My options” and click on “Save my data in CSV”.

 

The CSV file must indicate 6 types of information for each weigh-in:

• Your pseudo, 
• The weigh-in date in the following format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss For instance, for a weigh-in on October 26th 2009 at 09:28 am, you will write : 2009-11-26T09:28:12 
• Your height in meters, 
• Your weight, 
• Your fat mass,
• And your fat-free mass. This column is not mandatory. You can leave it blank. 

Once you enter all your data in the CSV file, upload it in the menu “My account / My options / Import my data in CSV”. Your data will show up immediately on your dashboard.
