How to analyze CSVs in Metabase
1
Ensure your Metabase has a database connected, and CSV upload is enabled (this needs to be done by an admin, but after that anyone can upload a CSV).
2
Have your CSV data available to upload and ready to analyze. If you have a Google or Excel spreadsheet, go to File > Download (.csv).
3
In Metabase, navigate to the Collection you want to add your CSV to.
4
Upload your CSV into the Collection by clicking
or dragging the file directly into the Collection you want to add it to.
5
Once your upload finishes, Metabase will create a model for that CSV data, as well as a table in the schema your admin has designated to store uploads. Now you’re ready to start querying, applying x-rays, building dashboards, and more.
6
Keep the model up to date as the data evolves. Upload new rows to the CSV-created model by clicking in the collection view, and selecting ‘Append data to a model’.
