You can try to get the Daylio app and see how they format the CSV export.
If you format your export exactly like that but still get the error, please send me an example CSV via mail
Import from text file
sombra888 I have the same issue.
full_date,date,weekday,time,mood,activities,note_title,note

The above is the sample from the forum listed as an example of the .csv format.
I tried saving and going to IMPORT DIARY and bringing as a .ZIP file got the error message:
ERROR: DILE IS NOT A DATABASE
Tried to bring in the file via MIGRATE FROM ANOTHER APP.
I chose DAYLIO and got the error msg
ERROR NO .CSV FILE IN .ZIP FILE FOUND
Assuming the format of the sample .csv file is correct - would appear the problem is how to save the file, what suffix to use and what method [IMPORT DIARY or MIGRATE FROM OTHER APP or ??}]
Any help you can give would be appreciated.

sorry if i caused confusion. the app I was using has no way to export data. It is no longer in the app store so when i update my phone - i lose daily data since mid 2019. So i entered all data in a spreadsheet and formatted the date to duplicate your example.
What i need is the format so that I can import into your app and do i save as a .txt file or ,csv. also do i import using
-- IMPORT DIARY
or
-- MIGRATE FROM ANOTHER APP [i don't have another app that exports...]
tks much / Ed
Does anyone know if there is a way to convert an xml to csv?
Just bought the app. Still need do move many years from EfficientDiary to Diarium. I can export a csv and convert it to any given format with small Python script. However, a good specification for some csv format would be very helpful. Since i have none of the supported diaries, i did trial and error. A bit tedious. So far i found out that the following works quite well for me using Daylio import:
except that it appears in Diarium as a single line. So what would be the newline markup in the Daylio csv?
LotharKappen You can install the Daylio app, make an entry with a newline, do an export and have a look at it
Hello everyone,
I used another journaling app called Writeaday for more than 5 years. I managed to move all my 4000+ entries to Diarium by exporting all my Writeaday entries from the app and then parsing the .txt file it gave me to a .csv file with the same format used by Daylio. I then opened Diarium > Settings > Diary > Migrate from other app > Daylio, selected the .csv file and... all my entries are imported correctly!
I'll leave the Python script I wrote here so it can be used by other Writeaday users who wish to migrate to Diarium:
