"When I choose 2 or 3 fields, nothing shows up in the window (dont know the correct name for the pane/pain)."

 

Can you share a screenshot of the pane causing you the pain to help isolate the issue a little more?

      1) I just finished viewing my csv file and MS sample csv file in an edit prog where I can see ALL the chars in file. The two csv files look the same to me except that MS csv file had blanks around almost all the commas, mine had no blanks before/after each comma.

      2) I tried uploading my csv file again. This time a yellow triangle (warn icon) appeared by my "data set name." The info associated was 4 (or5) guids. No real help.

      3) I tried "insights" on both csv files. MS one showed a linear trend line. Mine gave msg "no insights available."

      4) My file had two minus chars in header row, as dashes between words.  I changed these to underscore, no difference.

       

      So Q still remains, what is wrong with my csv file?
