At the moment Board is quite limited regarding the format of import files, as one column per entity and just one column containing values are required → Table on the left side of the screenshot.

It would be much more comfortable to be able to import more than one column containing values, for example values per year → Table on right side of the screenshot.

Modifications/Improvements should affect both Data Reader and Smart import object.

    Thank you for sharing your idea, @Stefan Hering. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion, and we understand that it can be disappointing to hear that we won't be pursuing it at this time.

    As we already load data in the tabular format, this idea is not currently feasible and we are committed to delivering the best possible experience to our customers, and we must prioritize the features and enhancements that will have the most significant impact on your daily use of our software.
