Data Variable in Illustrator 9kb limit?

Question

Hi, i have been experiencing this error while importing my variable data sheet/csv to illustrator (file attached). I have tried importing it column by column just to make sure there's no error in importing. I tried importing until column 46 which is below 9kb (file attached) and it worked! but right after adding the data in the 47th column (which then exceeds 9kb) then importing it in illustrator it says invalid. Now i tried importing the 47th column seperately just to see if it was the data causing the error, but it wasn't. So does the csv file has a size limit when importing it to illustrator?

Hi @Graniti Graphics,

I tested this on my end and the CSV imported correctly, so I’d like to gather a bit more detail to narrow it down. When you get a moment, please confirm which version of Illustrator you are using and the details of your operating system. It would also be great if you could try the suggestion shared by iLLMonkey about re-saving the full CSV, so the rows align consistently, and then import it again to see if that helps.

Let us know how it goes, so we can guide you further.
