The following example is a CSV format datatable. Each value is separated by a comma. The first row (after the header row) defines parameter names. Each subsequent row specifies a dataset with respective parameter values, separated by commas.

The table below shows the previous datatable file in spreadsheet format.

The following CSV file illustrates the consequences of using the value unset in a datatable. This prevents the application of a parameter for a given dataset. Notice that when the datatable is opened in the design, a parameter that has the value unset leaves a blank in the table, but the parameter that are left blank in the CSV file are marked as <<not defined>>.

The table below shows the previous datatable file in spreadsheet format.

The name of the CSV file is the same as the name of the datatable in the Datatable Explorer.
