I have a csv file with 6 columns. 3 of them X,Y,Z coordinate data, 3 of them u,v,w velocity data. I can view my points using TabletoPoints. However I couldn’t attach the velocity vectors to the points. How can I do that?

- Try **Table to Structured** Grid filter. Refer to [read CSV data]. Refer to [read csv data](https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#Displaying_data_as_structured_grid)
- You can also manually transform your csv data into vtk data(probably ImageData). The XYZ coordinate data becomes dimensions while the uvw velocity data becomes vector field. Refer to [file-formats](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/VTKFileFormats/)

Thank you, converting it to vtk file has worked.

@Yoshino I didn’t succeed with the table to structured grid filter. Can you explain?
