Some software allows us to choose where each ‘value’ will be loaded to, so in this case, the initial order in our CSV file won’t matter, because in the upload process we may be prompted to select which ‘fields to place which ‘values’ into.In your XL document with the info you wish to upload. Go to "file/save as" then select the option "as file type" and scroll down to "CSV (Comma Delimited).Then name it "WHATEVERYOUWANT" and click save.Now you will get a window asking a lot of questions.Go to your software and find the import function, browse for your file and upload it!Then check your "mailing List" to see the results!Your CSV file will look like this a, if you saved it correctly!
CSV means Comma Separated Value, so that means; a ‘value’ that is separated by commas. It is usually made in XL or a txt file.
A ‘value’ is explained, in context below.
CSV files are the most common kind of format used by most software programs for importing data. This means that if we want to put several hundred names and addresses (values) into a “bulk mailing program” we can usually use a CSV file.The CSV file would have to have all the names and addresses in it, and then we could go to our software program and use the ‘import’ function to upload all the names and addresses (values), with one click instead of spending hours entering each one by hand.
