File Upload Best Practices

Clean Your Data First: Remove extra headers, footers, and merged cells from Excel files before uploading. This ensures accurate column detection.
Use Consistent Formatting: Keep date formats consistent (YYYY-MM-DD), use the same delimiter throughout, and avoid mixing data types in a column.
Test With a Sample: Upload a small sample (first 1000 rows) to verify schema detection before uploading the full file.
File Size Limits: For files larger than 100MB or datasets with more than 1M rows, consider connecting a database instead of uploading files.
