# CSV import

 * I’m having a basic issue with importing a CSV file – a very simple CSV file with
   only two columns and 100 rows of data (text). Ninja keeps popping up a message
   saying csv headers not in right format or something. I wouldn’t know, it’s just
   a CSV output from Excel in UTF-8 format – looks dead simple in a text editor.
 * The other issue related to this is that it is not clear to me whether A. one 
   has to FIRST create the table and columns in Ninja BEFORE importing the CSV. 
   Or whether B. you just import the CSV straight off and Ninja automatically creates
   the table (rows and columns) for you?
 * Am I misunderstanding the process? And what’s wrong with my CSV file?….which,
   incidentally, imports into TablePress without a problem.
 * Thanks
    HJ
