I am recieving this message when trying to populate a lower third with data from a .csv file

 

Could not parse the file contents as a data set. There were too many variable names in the first line of the text file.

 

Can someone tell me why?

 

Thanks

Without seeing your data and how the data fields are set up nobody can really tell you much. There are severe limitations to this process and the slightest malformating or using a wrong data set can throw things completely off. It's not particulalrly foolproof/ hardened.

Looks like garbage characters left from an empty line in a spreadsheet, delete them as per the attached and try again:
