Import a specific column from a CSV file?

[yzhan121 (Yuening Zhang)]

I used Data [All, column number]. But the whole table appeared. Not just the column I would like to extract.
Thank you very much for your time!

Try double square brackets: Data[[All, column number]].

Thank you, Jim. Seems I still got the entire table as output.

Hi Yuening,

What is Data? To Import a specific column from a CSV file

Import["ExampleData/TreesOwnedByTheCityOfChampaign.csv", {"Data", All, 3}] (* column 3 *)

Thank you, Rohit. It worked! It was bibliographic data (publication time, title, author name…).
