I have been trying to import the attached CSV files into the Geotechnical Module on AutoCAD Civil 3D but keep getting the following error message stating that my file does not conform to the selected format, I have researched everywhere and cannot find anything wrong with the files. Can anybody suggest anything or find any error?

Keep this in mind.  I have never used the Geotechnical Module.  However, I would remove all headings in the first line and see if that is the problem.

You have a heading called Geology Code 2, but it is supposed to be Geology Code2.

Overall the files are in the right format, there is just a problem in the headers.

 

You had spaces in front of the commas and at the end of the header line. I removed them and it imported fine, see attached.

 

Word of warning, I would not report the coreloss the way you did if you intend to create profiles with it. It makes to many repeat layers.

I had the same problem as in the topic and despite all the instructions nothing has changed. Moreover, I've downloaded your csv files and input into geotechnical module in Civil 3D 2018. As a result I received such a info (attached). Before that everything seemed proper. Is there any possibility that I need some uploads in terms of Civil 3D or Geotechnical Module ?  Thank you.

Looking at the results you are getting, I wonder if it is a language setting.  What character do you use for a decimal point.  I believe the module will expect it to be the same as your  language setting for your computer

You could be right. I checked my regional settings and it turn out to be a coma for a decimal point. Now the question is how to separate columns. When I prepared my own files (attached) I got different error (attached). What is wrong with my files ? Maybe there is a confusion because my csv files in excel are saved as csv (separated with a comas) and in my regional settings coma is also a character for decimal point. Unfortunately I can't find any other types of csv files apart from: 

- csv files (separated with comas) - this is how I saved my csv files,

- csv files (Macintosh) - I use Windows,

- csv files (MS-DOS) - ?.

In next message I'll attach printscreens.

Thank you for your help...
