Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Commas within quoted fields

Solution: CSV fields with commas must be quoted: "Smith, John" not Smith, John

⚠️

Expecting automatic type conversion

Solution: All values become strings. Convert "30" to number 30 manually if needed.

⚠️

Missing header row

Solution: First CSV row must be column names. Without headers, conversion fails or uses generic names.
