Supported spreadsheet formats

CSV uses commas between columns; TSV uses tabs. Include a header such as State,Value, State,Population or State,Rate. Use full U.S. state names or postal abbreviations. The District of Columbia is supported as DC. Uploads are limited to 2 MB and 500 rows.

In CSV, write comma-formatted values with quotes: California,"39,431,263". Or remove thousands separators. Direct spreadsheet pastes use tabs, so California[TAB]39,431,263 works. The tool rejects rows with too many or too few fields rather than guessing.
