Csv format

For a smooth data process, make sure that your CSV file respects these five rules:

Separate by comma

Be sure that each element of the CSV file is separated by a comma. See the picture below:

X values

The first column represents the x values. See the picture below:

The x values data could be numbers, dates, or categories. See the picture below:

Check the picture below to see where the X values are located on the Editor:

Series name

The first line represents the name of the series. See the picture below:

Check the picture below to see where the series names are located on the Editor:

Data Series values

Columns represent the values of the data series. See the picture below:

Check the picture below to see where the values of the data series are located on the Editor:

European CSV

everviz also supports the European CSV using the semicolon to separate data fields instead of the comma. See the picture below:

And the comma as a decimal mark:

Ensure all your values are quoted if a separator (comma or semicolon) ever appears inside a value. This sometimes happens inside a series title.
