    If this works for forms, that's great. But I am trying to import a small simple CSV file into my empty Jotform Table with the appropriate headers on each column. The guide above only addresses "forms" not Jotform Tables. Where is the Tables specific tutorial?

    a public link to the csv file I've tried many times to upload to Jotform Tables to create a Table with. It was created with excel.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Here's the guide you can use to import CSV into your Jotform Tables. However, I tested the CSV you have shared, and it seems it's not being identified by the system. Do you have the original copy of it and not the uploaded on the link you shared? If yes, kindly use that one to ensure that there's no issue importing.

    Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.

    FYI ..... I did just now convert the "old" csv I had been trying to upload into Jotform into an xls file. It uploaded in to Jotform perfectly well.
    So the conclusion is that the csv file format my computer was using is an older csv format version not recognized by Jotform. When I used Google Sheets to convert an excel file it changes it from xlsx to xls, which is an acceptable format for Jotform, because it worked perfectly well. So..........I'll be using that format alone going forward.
    Sorry for all the hassle. Live and learn.
