NEED TO MANIPULATE CSV FILE PRIOR TO IMPORT
Hope dandiebolt wins the Hawaii trip. Maybe next one to Brazil. Think I am one of the few Brazilian happy quickbase customers.... My company imports 4 CSV files, regularly (Daily basis) to One...

Hi, I'm from Brazil too, I've never used Dan's techniques (they sound fantastic) but they are out of my level ( I don't know programming).
I'm thinking of giving up quickbase after 3 years without seeing advances in the internationalization or use advanced mobile features (as we are a construction company I need offline access).
Today we do many routines in Excel to be able to import the bank information and boletos, which generates many human mistakes and loss of time.
I am studying migrating to windev / webdev and starting from scratch. I would like to know your experience and perspectives. please contact me at martin@mirantesdalagoa.com.br

Yours proposals sound fantastic and I would be the first to finance Dan's travels and efforts, but are not tired of not receiving any formal support from Quickbase? Is it necessary that in order to get basic things we have to hack the code and work in the shadows? How can we think about growing without their support? Is it responsible for our companies to work with solutions that are not reliable for production?
In my case given my technical limitations I already lost the support of my users, at the beginning I used quickbase for everything in the company, today we use pipedrive for crm, trello to track activities and I have a rebellion in the financial sector since they demand a better solution ( importation or automatic linkage with bank statements, issuance of boletos, communication with tax authorities).
I agree 100% with Dan and I really follow in quickbase for all the work developed and because the other platforms that I tried or are very expensive or lack functions (Zoho creator, fieldbook, airtable, ragic, Caspian, Memento db, filemaker, Knack, Mendix , outsystems, wavemaker, etc). Nor are Brazilian ERPs an option because it is too late to get the company used to closed software.
Sincerely today I see quickbase more focused on improvements for large customers (Americans) and cosmetic changes than new basic functions for the rest of the world (translation of the UI and help, special characters, CSV format, etc).
I believe that PWA applications are very promising but realistically, how long can quickbase make it available? I have been waiting for the new Mercury IU for more than 2 years and there is still no release date.
Thanks!
