About CSV files

CSV is a simple file format where the comma symbol ( , ) is used to separate each item.

One line of data in CSV format constitutes all of the information for one subscriber.
The first row of the Excel file contains the titles of each data field. Please input the
registration data from the second row, using one row for each subscriber and matching
the information with the column (date field) title.
