CSV File Imports

Starting with version 1.8 you can enable a .csv file import option on Simple Table fields. This option comes with a few caveats:

This feature is intended to be used on small .csv files with a few rows and few columns. This is not a web based version of Excel. Use in moderation.
It has only been tested with .csv files up to ~500 lines and ~125kb, and even then browser performance was slow and flaky at best. Do not submit a support request with "I can't import my 2000 line 50 column .csv file", we'll close that support ticket faster than a jack rabbit off to a hot date.
If it isn't already clear: Success of the import is 100% dependent on file size, the number of rows in your .csv file, and the contents of your .csv file. If there are too many rows, too many columns, or the contents of your .csv file is malformed, the import script will likely fail. You'll know it has failed when you see an error message (best case scenario) or there is no change after several seconds or minutes to the Simple Table field (worst case scenario because your browser is panicking) . At this point your only option is to make the file smaller or enter the data manually.
There are no plans to add this feature to the Simple Grid field.
