# CSV file upload
Our CSV upload tool is a great way to get a lot of metric data into DoubleLoop without integrating your tools or using our API.
There are two ways to use CSV upload in DoubleLoop:
* Upload data points for an individual metric.
* Upload data points for many metrics at once.
## Upload data points for an individual metric
#### **1. Prepare your CSV file.**
Download an example file here:
{% file src="/files/TqFnUfy4OBBDiSy3pBQE" %}
The file looks like this:
Or like this if you open it in Excel:
Replace the dates and values with the data you'd like to upload and save the file.
**Some important notes:**
1. **Use the date format yyyy-mm-dd**
2. **Make sure you leave "date" and "value" as the headers.**
**2. Go to the individual metric in DoubleLoop.**
You can navigate to the metric either from your strategy map or the metric listings page.
#### 3. Click "Upload CSV."
#### 4. Upload the file.
After you upload the file, you'll need to refresh the page to see the data you uploaded.
## Upload data points for many metrics at once
#### **1. Prepare your CSV file.**
Download an example file here:
{% file src="/files/mPAwxxvxuyS6JcL992aw" %}
The file looks like this:
Or like this if you open it in Excel:
Each row contains a metric id, date, and value. You can find the metric id on the metric page under the metric name, as shown here.
**Some important notes:**
1. **Use the date format yyyy-mm-dd**
2. **Make sure you leave "id", "date", and "value" as the headers.**
**2. Go to the metric listing page in DoubleLoop.**
Click "Metrics" in the left nav or go here:
#### 3. Click "Upload CSV."
#### 4. Upload the file.
After you update the file, you'll need to refresh the metrics page to see that data you uploaded.
That's it! If you have any questions, problems, or improvement ideas, let us know.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.doubleloop.app/measure/upload-metrics-via-a-csv-file.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
