Appendix 2: Formating csv import-files

The menu item File - Load ... import imports a csv-formated cross-impact matrix. The import function

reads the cross-impact data of the csv file whereas the names of the descriptors and variants of the

current analysis structure remain unchanged. To be ready for import a csv file must show a specific

structure. The requested structure corresponds to the usual structure of a cross-impact matrix (cf.

Fig. 5-13) and is shown in the following table for the simple example of two descriptors, each with

three variants:

The import function uses only the data rows, skipping all other rows. Each data row consists of the

variant’s name. Then the impacts of the variant follow separated by semicolons. The empty columns

separating the descriptors (cf. Fig. 5-13) are represented in the csv-file by two successive semicolons.

1st heading line, contains descriptor’s short names (skipped)

2nd heading line, contains value’s short names (skipped)

Block descriptor 1, descriptor’s long name (skipped)
