Hi all,
Each time I click on the table to points function the software crashes and closes immediately. I open a simple csv file only one row of the parameters and rest is only numbers. Do you have an idea what should I do?

Welcome to ParaView @Arg70!
Would it be possible to post a portion of the CSV file here? Just the first row and a few rows of data?

That’s an Excel file, which ParaView doesn’t open.

This data is very strange. It looks like this:
```auto
"x,y,z,u,v,w,velmag,flag,count,valid,dudx,dudy,dvdx,dvdy,"
"-39.0848,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-36.5007,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-33.9166,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-31.3325,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-28.7483,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-26.1642,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-23.5801,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
"-20.996,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"
...
```
Removing the quotation marks through the file, is one thing I had to do. There are also a few bytes at the start of the file that should be removed (before the ‘x’ character), and the trailing command should be removed from each line. After doing all that, I was able to load the file in ParaView and apply the **Table to Points** filter to it.
Here’s the modified file that loaded successfully in ParaView:
