Convert JSON to .CSV

Added spreadsheet showing my desired output from the JSON input. Mostly I need the X and Y data to plot the point data, but the other attributes are important as well.

I have recovered database information that I am trying to reconnstruct, the data was given in JSON format like this:

{"layerServerGens":[{"id":0,"serverGen":234091}],"transportType":"esriTransportTypeUrl","responseType":"esriDataChangesResponseTypeEdits","edits":[{"id":0,"features":{"adds":[],"updates":[],"deletes":[{"geometry":{"x":434757.92663790932,"y":2329162.1516300468},"attributes":{"FID":781,"GlobalID_3":"7786EC58-1FDD-448A-9F11-22A52D67FC70","Long":null,"Lat":null,"OWNER":null,"INSTALLATI":null,"COMMENTS":null,"HEIGHT":null,"MATERIAL":null,"STYLE":null,"GLOBALID":null,"NAME":null,"BUILD":null,"STATUS":null,"GlobalID_2":null,"CreationDa":null,"Creator":null,"EditDate":null,"Editor":null,"layer":null,"path":null,"CreationDate":1664812533657,"Creator_1":"admin.wideband","EditDate_1":1664812533657,"Editor_1":"admin.wideband","NODE":null}},{"geometry":{"x":1059115.5835527368,"y":2865797.5113765462},"attributes":{"FID":782,"GlobalID_3":"F83F39EF-F428-4A3A-B494-4FBB9EA5B542","Long":null,"Lat":null,"OWNER":"AMERICAN TOWER","INSTALLATI":null,"COMMENTS":null,"HEIGHT":null,"MATERIAL":null,"STYLE":null,"GLOBALID":null,"NAME":"TOWER-AT","BUILD":null,"STATUS":null,"GlobalID_2":null,"CreationDa":null,"Creator":null,"EditDate":null,"Editor":null,"layer":null,"path":null,"CreationDate":1677264270803,"Creator_1":"rsigns.wideband","EditDate_1":1677264316967,"Editor_1":"rsigns.wideband","NODE":null}}, ...... format repeats and continues on for a long time ....

I just need to get it into a .CSV format and Excel seems to be a bit confused when I import it. I am wondering if the structure is confusing excel?

I really only need the "geometry" data (x,y) and in the "attributes" data (FID,GlobalID, etc)

So something formatted like this:

geometry_x geometry_y attributes_FID attributes_GlobalID_3 attributes_CreationDate attributes_Creator_1 attributes_EditDate_1 attributes_Editor_1


Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.

Fast answers need clear examples.

Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

With the JSON text in cell A1, you could use this to split it into readable elements:

From there, I suspect you could use WRAPROWS and/or WRAPCOLS to create "records" and then FILTER or CHOOSEROWS to get the records you want.

Just thinking out loud

Sample file attached. I don't really follow what your expected output should look like.

Rule 7: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

Your post does not comply with Rule 7 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this.

I have added the crosspost reference for you today. Please comply with this and all our rules in the future

However, if you continue to crosspost, you can expect to have your thread BLOCKED until you update it yourself.

Please post a file with sample of the JSON data.

@Alan: I might be mistaken but that doesn't look like a cross-post to me. Very old and, much simpler structure, and different data. Might be wrong
