Table from CSV

Renders an interactive data grid from a CSV file attached to the page - no table in the body.

Use it for data that arrives as a file rather than something you would type by hand: an export from a reporting tool, a price list, a set of survey results. Attach the CSV to the page (or upload it straight from the macro's settings panel) and the macro turns it into the same grid the Table macro produces, with the same display, header-colour and charting settings. To update the numbers, replace the attachment - the page itself does not change. It works exactly like the Table macro; the only difference is where the rows come from.

Every example below is a real macro on this page, not a screenshot, and each one is a configuration taken from a page somebody actually built. Open this page in the editor to see how any of them is set up.

The CSV file section sits at the top of the settings panel, above the Display settings the Table macro also uses. Right-click selected cells to copy, chart or export them.

What it changes

CSV file

Any .csv attachment on the page. You can also upload a new file from the panel; it is added to the page as a draft attachment and selected for you. Only files whose names end in .csv are listed.

Chooses the file the grid is built from. Once you pick one, the panel confirms how many columns and rows it found. Uploading is only offered while you are editing a page.

Page size / Font size / Minimum height / Auto-size columns / Header colours / chart toggle and Placement / Legacy sort

Identical to the Table macro - see that entry for the full list of values and defaults.

Same behaviour. The two macros share the same options and the same settings panel; only where the data comes from differs.

The largest family, and the most precise.
