> [!tldr] Works- just not how I was picturing it. I was thinking about [[CSV]] in [[Obsidian]] all wrong for years. I was wanting to treat a [[CSV]] file like an alternative to a [[Markdown]] file - where the CSV content lived where the body of the markdown content lived. You could still have headers, etc.. except instead of markdown prose you'd have [[Tabular Data]] content. Turns out CSV and Obsidian Markdown **are already interoperable** - just not like that 👆. The right mental model is: ==CSV Row = Obsidian Note==. # Previous Note content: ## Like a Markdown file I wish [[Obsidian]] supported basic reading and basic writing operations on [[CSV]] and [[TSV]] files. We could even include [[Frontmatter]] and get full-blown [[Why does CSV + Frontmatter Not Exist?|CSVY]] files. "Why"? That's the real question. Otherwise I'm sure it would exist. It's just not that hard to open a separate app. For me, just *thinking* in Obsidian is easier. I sometimes use CSV to think. I feel like I'd use it more like [[SQL]] than [[Spreadsheet|Excel]]. ## CSV **ROWS** like a Markdown file Now this actually **is** supported in Obsidian! **** # More ## Source - self
