Upload a .csv file to metabase

Question

I would like to upload a .csv file to metabase but it doesn't offer the option.

What would be the easiest way to get it done? Spin up a DB locally? Or is there a plugin that can be added?

Thanks

Answer 1

There is a 3rd-party driver created for this purpose already: https://github.com/Markenson/csv-metabase-driver

Answer 2

Metabase does not provide an option to upload .csv file. The easiest way to do this would be install a database like MySQL locally where you can import an csv directly and connect to that database.
