Batexplorer csv to observation.org xlsx file.

Waarneming.nl/Observarion.org has a bulk import function "hidden" on the your observations page.
The bulk import only accepts a xlsx file in the right format.
Batexplorer only has an cvs output function.

be2obs.exe is a pythons script in an executable package (sorry for the large file that contains a lot of ballast)

To use be2obs.exe it is best to have the executable in the same folder as the csv files.

Simply drag the csv and drop it onto the be2obs executable.

The .csv file gets converted to a .xlsx file with the same filename in the same folder as the csv file.

A lot of data is stripped away, only the most important data is kept en rearranged to create the right format.


Depending on the size of the file and the speed of the computer it can take a little longer but usually it is ready within seconds. You might need to refresh de file browser to see the file.

The xlsx format should look like this, please check before uploading, specially the date format!
