Hello.
I got a datatable which contains informations of my game and i often use the export/import to an asv to change the values. And I was wondering if it was possible to :
Import / export a modified CSV of the datatable into a folder of my exported game, in order to change the values without use the unreal editor (but excel or wordpad). Maybe i can use a function like “save / load” in an exportable format, readable with excel.
Thanks

I believe it’s not possible by default tools in the engine for now, there should be some plugin for that, or the devs should add that feature in future.
You can reimport the csv you already created from folder back to UE4, but not realtime (ingame) and not in packed game.

FString csvFile = FPaths::GameContentDir() + “Downloads\DownloadedFile.csv”;
if (FPaths::FileExists(csvFile ))
{
FString FileContent;
//Read the csv file
FFileHelper::LoadFileToString(FileContent, *csvFile );
TArray problems = YourDataTable->CreateTableFromCSVString(FileContent);

             if (problems.Num() > 0)
             {
                 for (int32 ProbIdx = 0; ProbIdx < problems.Num(); ProbIdx++)
                 {        
                                             //Log the errors
                 }
             }
             else
             {
                 //Updated Successfully
             }
         }

You need download the csvfile on net instead of including in content. Click here:
