Hi @suvarnalaxmi,

  • Read the csv file into the datatable .
  • Use the below activity that can convert to json.

Thanks @pattyricarte

I need to push these values to elastic search and generate graphs.

You should have columns of you datatable of some numeric type (e.g. int32)
You could achieve it by creating datatable matching the format of CSV using BuildDataTable activity before reading the CSV.

In such case the conversion into JSON will get desired result.

you can use the find and replace

  1. from ”:“ to ”:
  2. from “,“ to ,

Actually ReadCSV always screw up dt definition
So you will need to use two data tables:
DT1 for reading from CSV - with data type defined by ReadCSV activity
DT2 for valid JSON output - declared with proper data types

and use the below code to copy from DT1 to DT2

DT2 = (From row In DT1.AsEnumerable
Select DT2.Rows.Add(row.item("item1"),row.item("item2"),row.item("item3"),row.item("item4"))).copytodatatable
