Explanation of the requirements for the CSV file to make the data migration successful

Tactical Rundown:

A CSV is a comma-separated values file that allows data to be saved in a table-structured format. Traditionally they take the form of a text file containing information separated by commas. CSVs look like a garden-variety spreadsheet but with a .csv extension.

Requirements to the CSV file:

  • The file should contain the Column “id” or “Id” with the unique values
  • Separator character is comma ( , )
  • The file can be downloaded from Dropbox, Google Drive, One drive or Computer Hard drive
  • The file type (extension) is .CSV
    Please Note. If you use Windows OS, please make sure that the file name has an extension .CSV right within the name, like FILENAME.CSV
  • The file size is less than 1 Gb

For example:

csv_file_comma
