# Cannot import a simple file

 * I have created a simple CSV file to test bulk user import. Here are the contents:
 * Username, Email, FullName, Password
    test, [test@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-import-a-simple-file/test@gmail.com?output_format=md),
   Test User, mypassword
 * After I select the file and click on import, I just see “First row represents
   the form of sheet” and nothing happens after that.
 * Wondering if there is something I am missing. I am assuming the columns have 
   to be comma-separated and not tab-separated.
 * Thank you in advance for your help.
 * Regards,
    Peter

 * Hi Javier,
 * Thank you for your help.
 * After I installed phpadmin (on Ubuntu/Apache2), the problem disappeared. May 
   be there is some functionality in this plugin that requires phpadmin (or one 
   of its parts) to be present.
 * Regards,
    Peter

 * Peter,
 * No it does not need phpMyAdmin or any component.
 * Surely you have your CSV bad formed and you have changed something (maybe some
   invisible character).
 * Anyway, this is perfect.
 * Please make a good review or do a little donation in order to be able to continue
   giving the best support.
