What is a .CSV file?

A .CSV (comma-separated values) file is a common, relatively simple file format that is widely supported by consumer, business, and scientific applications. Among its most common uses is moving tabular data between programs that natively operate on incompatible formats. This works because so many programs support some variation of CSV at least as an alternative import/export format.

For example, a user may need to transfer information from a database program that stores data in a proprietary format, to a spreadsheet that uses a completely different format. The database program most likely can export its data as “CSV”; the exported CSV file can then be imported by the spreadsheet program.

To import a CSV into EzyMarketer all of the information should be separated into columns and broken down accordingly. The image below is an example of what a simple CSV should look like. If you have fields EzyMarketer does not have, you can create them in our Custom Field module. (Custom Field Sections coming soon)
