Import weight and other metrics

[Arturo Gonzalez Mac Dowell]

Is there a way to bulk import metrics such as weight or other body metrics from say an Excel or CSV file?

I have data in both PPT5 and Training Peaks that I would like to have in GC but rather not go through typing it all.

[Martin Wifling]

I have exactely the same problem, also using (from Polar abandoned) PPT5 and trainingpeaks ...

old post, but did anyone find a nice way?

One suggestion was to creating a withings account, then manually import the csv with weights into withings and then sync withings to GC. I haven't got that far yet. 

I setup IFTT to export my weight from Fitbit to csv in google drive. (working well so far..)

It seems there is no support in the withings API to push data in, so the import from csv would have to be manual. This is where my laziness has stopped me..

Thanks,

Mike

With 3.5 we just added a new Body Measures feature to import "Weight Data"

- from Withings

- from TodayPlan

- from a CSV

and to capture it manually per day in GC.

Will be part of the next DEV release in April

Cheers

BTW - TodaysPlan (payed account) can collect Weight Data from

- Garmin Wellness / Garmin Index Scale

- Under Armour 

- FitBit

Hi Jörn,

This is great, I don't use TodaysPlan but good to know. Would the import from csv be available as part of an "auto import" directory?

Thanks,

Mike

Joern added an example to the repo here:

It's worked for me with the combination

ts,weightkg,fatpercent,comment

and

date,weightkg,fatpercent

Maybe check you're using a header row with the correct fieldnames, that there
are no empty columns and that there aren't any leading or trailing spaces (not
sure if that last one is actually an issue...)

With a sample file it would have been more quickly

I have prepared a big file with excel ... the problem: the csv support file is not "international" and my excel save semicolon ";" separator instead comma ","

The problem is creating csv with excel.

Is there any way to import in to GC, i have 3.4. Should i install dev build 3.5?

In v3.4 no, you need a v3.5 dev build and to convert your CSV to this format: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/master/doc/user/bodymeasures-format.txt

Hi there,

this thread is dead for quite some time, but I have not find any newer solution to this problem. So I have tried to utilize my humble coding abilities combined with AI help and after some debugging I was able to prepare rather neat small app that downloads body data from Garmin Connect and automatically loads them to GC (v 3.8). The instructions are rather long, but I hope someone might find it useful. See the guide here - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p8duec3uj69s1ncisvas8/Garmin_to_GoldenCheetah_macOS_guide_v2.pdf?rlkey=vmzsf8cuwj9m8w73n9hw8abe9&st=yq48u8nm&dl=0.

Regards.

Richard

 Main changes from that time are Today’s Plan was deprecated in v3.7 and Tredict integration was added in v3.8 with similar capabilities, see https://groups.google.com/g/golden-cheetah-users/c/2WiUavcbASQ/m/UP1BBhkfBQAJ

PS: both Withings and Tredict measures download can be enable for auto-sync at startup is latest builds too.
