Node Inputs

  • csv_file_name: The name of the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file you want to work with. This file is where your data will be written. It’s important to make sure this file exists or is specified correctly to ensure data is stored in the right place.
  • Writer Mode: This input decides how your data gets added to the CSV file. You can choose between:
    • Add New Row: This mode will add new information as a complete row at the end of your existing data in the CSV file.
    • Write to Column: If you have specific information that belongs in a certain column, choosing this mode lets you add that data directly to the desired column, starting from the last filled entry to keep your data organized.

Note: The Writer Mode is optional, and if it is not specified, the default action will be to add a new row to your CSV file.

Node Output

  • generated_csv_file_name: After the node has processed and added your data to the specified CSV file, it will provide you back the name of the CSV file that was modified or created as a result. This is to ensure you can easily identify and access the updated file.

Node Functionality

This node specializes in handling and organizing data within a CSV file. It provides an efficient way to either add new rows of data to your document or to update specific columns. The functionality caters to various data entry and organization needs without compromising the integrity of the original data file.

When To Use

  • Updating Reports: When you have ongoing data like weekly sales, inventory numbers, or similar reports, you can use this node to systematically update your CSV files.
  • Data Organization: If you collect information in pieces and need a structured way to compile everything, specifying whether to add new rows or fill in columns can make data management much more straightforward.
  • Batch Processing: For instances where you have multiple data points that need to be added to a document at once, this node can handle batch processing, making it a time-efficient choice.
