Angular *ngFor loop through an array of arrays

I have an array which contains other arrays inside like that:

array = [
           ["element A", "element B"],
           ["YES", "NO"]
        ]

And I want to loop through this array of object in an HTML table using ngFor:

   <table>
     <thead>
       <tr>
         <th>#</th>
         <th>COLUMN 1</th>
         <th>COLUMN 2</th>
       </tr>
     </thead>

     <tbody>
       <template *ngFor="let row of csvContent; let in = index">
         <th scope="row">{{in}}</th>
            <template *ngFor="let c of row; let in = index">
              <td>
               {{c[0]}}
              </td>
            </template>
       </template>
     </tbody>
  </table>

I want to display each inner array list below COLUMN1 and COLUMN2 respectively:

 COLUMN1   | COLUMN2
 --------------------
 element A | YES
 element B | NO

I can't figure it out how to use *ngFor properly in order to list an array of arrays (Simple list of strings). At the moment, it's either an empty array or a shifted & messed up Table presentation.

This is how looks the Table:

shifted HTML Table using *ngFor

Or this wrong presentation because Element A and B should be below COLUMN 1 and YES, NO should be below COLUMN2:

Your data is not arrays in arrays; it's two connected arrays. You need to treat it as such:

   <tbody>
     <tr *ngFor="let column of csvContent[0]; let in = index">
       <td>
         {{csvContent[0][in]}}
       </td>
       <td>
         {{csvContent[1][in]}}
       </td>
     </tr>
   </tbody>

This is not really a good way of organizing your data, as stuff is not really related. What if csvContent[0] gets a new entry, but 1 doesn't? Right now, your data doesn't represent a table, and I'd recommend transforming it in your controller to be tabluar, and then printing.
