Follow these rules when you use the iNZight data visualisation software:
1. The first row of cells must contain the names of the variables.
2. Variable names should be unique and cannot include spaces. They
are case sensitive.
3. Everything in the column beneath a variable name is treated as
data recorded on that variable.
4. Any punctuation, control characters and alphabetical characters will
cause the data to be treated as a categorical variable e.g.
o Spaces and control characters will turn your numeric variables
(numerical data) into categorical (a category).
o Money: do not use money formatting or currency signs.
$10,000CR should be 10000 without commas and $1,000,000
should be 1000000.
o Dates: If you enter “4/3/2014” it will be interpreted as a
categorical variable. Think about how you want to use the
date. For example you can split it into three variables – year
month and day, or concatenate e.g. 4 Mar 2014 becomes
20140304, which is numeric and able to be ordered.
5. If a row starts with # then it is a comment row and is not imported.

data from your file.
