How to Import csv to Google Spreadsheets

Importing csv files into google spreadsheets is a very very easy task. You do not need any tech background for that. Let me show you how you can import your valuable csv data to google spreadsheets in 2-3 easy steps.

1, Have the csv file ready?

Make sure your csv file has the extension .csv at the end. No problem if it is a text file currently. Just add the .csv at the end of the file name. e.g. snow-leopard will be snow-leopard.csv or snow-leopard.txt will be snow-leopard.csv.

2, Open Google Docs

Log in to your google account and open the main page of google docs. (usually I just click on Docs in the upper left corner of my gmail account). Do not go into any of your actual google docs or spreadsheets. Just stay on the main page.

See the button UPLOAD? here:

Hope this helps.
