NDL Forum

I am having a hell of a time importing the UCLA roster from their website. Is someone else going to do this because I can't get it right and really don't want to enter in the whole team by hand. I'm trying to use excell and put it in the right format for a mass import, but it is not working right. Please help...

mike is working on getting the issue cleared up. hopefully Leaguedaddy will have a fix for it soon.

Nevermind, I got mine in. Just took some time putting in commas on the spreadsheet.

So we don't need to worry with entering our own then?

You might have to worry. Usually LD has a tool that imports the rosters from the team websites, but this year it isn't working. I had Nole shoot Glen and e-mail about the situation. Even if you have to enter the rosters manually it takes literally 15-20 minutes.

OK, no big deal. I'm off tomorrow if someone would like to give me power to do as many as I can, I don't mind. Let me know though, so I can get it rolling.

BC's are done. So you dont have to worry about them.

as are Mississippi States

Ole Miss is done

If we manually enter our rosters and then BigMike or someone imports them, will that mess the ones up that we manually enter?

I don't mind taking the time to put mine in, but I don't want to do that if they get overwritten when Mike imports them.

SMU is done as well

Arizona State is finished also.

Quack

I don't need to know if you have put them in or not. If Glenn fixes the problem all you do is go to the roster page, click on your team and then click on update from NCAA roster. Believe me, I'm not going through 120 teams to see who has their rosters updated and who doesn't.

how do i import again with excel?

does someone have the step by step, thanks

So is there a fix for this issue yet? Or how did you guys get them imported? I ain't trying to do that one by one manually crap at all.If there is another way I would be grateful to know.

1 Find the roster off the teams website. They usually have it in a pdf file somewhere on there.
2. Select all of it and copy it.
3. Paste it into excel and change the columns around so they are in this order: no,last,first,pos,height,weight,year,mm/dd/yy.
I usually leave off the birthday but its up to you. Make sure the height stays in ft and inches. Mine usually converts it to dates for some reason. Also make sure all the names fit in the boxes. Widen the columns to make sure they fit or when you paste it on league daddy some of the columns will be off.
4. Save the file as a csv (comma separated values).
5. After you've done that go to your league daddy roster page and copy your roster and paste it in the import players box and click save.

As an example, here is what I did with mine in Excel.
I pasted it in and had to do the height manually.

But I did this format and then copied and pasted it into the leaguedaddy section of import players box and it imported just fine.

If you guys have issues loading your rosters and need some help, send me a PM and I'll see if I can help you out.

Reign hooked mines up! Thanks again bro!!

No prob, you're welcome. And obviously for the record, Penn State's is good. I'm signing off for the night to play my dynasty games and such, still send a PM if you've got questions or need help. I'll be back around tomorrow.
