Post an example of your data. Copy some lines using a TEXT editor, not a spreadsheet, and paste the values into a text box opened on the forum with the </>. The text box is important because the main message windows reformat text which can change the values pasted.

Copy from a text editor is critical because lines copied when opened by a spreadsheet would no longer be CSV.

 

Also, show the generated code from the log of what you attempted.

This is not data from a csv file. A csv file would have commas to separate the columns (and headers), or (in the case of an Excel-created csv) semicolons.

Please open the source file (not the file created by EG) with a text editor and copy/paste the contents into a window opened with the </> button. DO NOT SKIP THIS, to keep the formatting.
