CSV data |
After you have converted an Excel file into a CSV file, you must upload the data.
If you use the Firefox 3.6 or Google Chrome 7.0 browser you can load the CSV file using the "Upload the CSV file" functionality.
With other browsers, this functionality is not shown.
In the latter case you must open the CSV file with the Notepad program and then copy the entire content.
Then paste the content into the CSV data entry field.
The CSV data contains one or more lines which are called items.
