Configuring a CSV import

  3. Click on the file, and then click the Configure button.

  4. If necessary, update the config options:

    1. Delimiter: The seperator that seperates one column from another.

    2. Encoding: The encoding used to save this file.

    3. Decimal Separator: The character used to separate the decimal places in numbers.

    4. Number of Rows to Skip: The number of rows at the top of the file to skip when reading data into the dataframe.

    5. Skip Invalid Lines: Turn on to skip any lines that error when being read in.

  5. Click the Import button, and your dataframe should appear as a tab in your mitosheet.
