Hi @adetomiheebrahi ,

what do you mean with "wrong data"? what's the message that you are receiving?

could you share a sample of your data?

which kind of file you want to upload? remember that youcan upload only text files (txt or csv or json or html, not xls or xlsx files).

di you used spaces or special chars as column header?

Ciao.

Giuseppe
