    <p>I have a CSV File here: <a href="http://www.filedropper.com/excel" rel="nofollow">http://www.filedropper.com/excel</a> which looks like this <a href="http://pastebin.com/ammzv4FK" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ammzv4FK</a>. </p> <p>What I want to do is this:</p> <p>Take each year with its corresponding rows and find the numbers in months and total them and assign them to variables.</p> <p>So the first year, 2000, the list would look like this:</p> <pre><code>year2000 = ['14744', '2947', '14905', '1748', '2859', '11778', '1453', '5255', '14806', '1858', '10763', '6000'] </code></pre> <p>Then once I have that list I can convert the elements in the list from strings to integers, and sum them using the sum() command.</p> <p>I can print the rows out but I'm having trouble excluding the year number and then storing the rest into variables because my list comes out as this:</p> <pre><code>['2000, 14744, 2947, 14905, 1748, 2859, 11778, 1453, 5255, 14806, 1858, 10763, 6000'] </code></pre> <p>as one big string, instead of individual elements, and my list prints all the years out at once so I can't seem to figure out how to store them into variables and total them separately.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>with open("file.csv","r") as f: for i in range(1): next(f) for x in f: x=x.split() print (x) </code></pre> <p>But when <code>print(x)</code> runs it prints it all, how can I store each year with its contents in a variable while excluding the actual year number?</p> <p>I'm using Python 3, thanks.</p>

    1. COThe `csv` module is what you want. Also, you should show your current code in a question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
