HubDB Table/CSV file imports

I created a rates page on our website and have a HubDB table pulling the data into it. The rates are updated daily. I thought that I could just upload and replace the CSV file onto the HubDB table and it would be good to go but when I upload the new file, the ID numbers are updated within the hubdb table as well - which makes a disconnect to the rates page.

Is there another way to accomplish this?

HubDB Table/CSV file imports

Hi @kferraro ! I took a look at this and I made an example custom module in your portal that shows how this might be accomplished (I removed your HubID, so you will have to substitute it in for the Xs): https://app.hubspot.com/design-manager/XXXXXX/modules/21778068387

I copied the HTML for the table into a custom module. In the custom module, I added a HubDB field that allows you to select which HubDB field to use in the module. Next, I added a bit of HubL at the top of the custom module to copy all of the row IDs for the selected table to an array/sequence:

  {% set row_array = [] %}
  {% for row in hubdb_table_rows(module.hubdbtable_field) %}
    {{ row_array.append( row.hs_id ) }}  
  {% endfor %}

Then, in the area of the table that used to reference the values by row ID, I changed the syntax to be more like this:

<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 15px;">{{ hubdb_table_row( module.hubdbtable_field, row_array[0]).rate }}%</p>

so now we are referencing the product for the row at index 0 in the array we just made {{ hubdb_table_row( module.hubdbtable_field, row_array[0]).product }} instead of before, where you were referencing specific row numbers {{ hubdb_table_row( 1053882, 21504528746).product }} I did hard code in the row references so the other rows are pulling row_array[1] and row_array[2] , but this should work for your use case, which is that when importing data, the row ids change

Are you trying to access the rows by row id? Don't you have any other fields to look up the price?
