Tutorial csv basics

I am quite intimidated. See the need to import my bank transactions into calc using .csv format. Have tried in the past. Don’t really know what to do with it once I get it imported. Is there a tutorial for beginners that would hold my hand and walk me through this process? What I need to do is import my transactions for the year into calc so I can manipulate it to create reports. At this moment I am facing entering each transaction by hand. for the love of kittens, can someone help me? I can follow step by step directions if they are very clear. this certainly exists.

Why do you think so? Even the contents of .csv are not very clear, so the process needs often some thinking…

What do you want to achieve? Nobody can help you with directions unless you can name a destination…

Have you consulted your bank? They often have ready made solutions available for customers wishing to import their data to a spreadsheet.

This is the only information you have provided. And there is only one thing I can extract from that: “I tried to do something, saw something, and I have some problem - possibly it didn’t do what I expected it to (but I didn’t tell)”.

Instead of “I have an unspecified problem, so provide me with something magical and universally correct”, start with “Here is what I have, here is what I do, here is what I see, here is what I expect … how to change what I see into what I expect”. Please provide a sample CSV; since it’s some bank data, make sure to replace any sensitive data there with some dummy replacements.
