Upload Users in a CSV File

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is the most versatile and universal spreadsheet format available, readable by virtually any application that handles data — including Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, SwitchBase, database tools, and countless others. It travels cleanly across platforms and systems, making it the common denominator of data sharing.

In SwitchBase, you can use a CSV file to upload large batches of users quickly.

Setting your Spreadsheet

  • In your Header, you must include four Columns:

  • Enter in your Users:

Saving your Spreadsheet

  • In Google Sheets: File → Download → Comma-separated values (.csv)

In Excel: File → Save As → choose CSV (Comma delimited) (.csv) from the format dropdown → Save.

In both cases, only the active sheet is exported — formatting, formulas, and multiple tabs don't carry over. The CSV captures raw data values only, which is exactly what makes it so portable and easy to share.
