I need helpĀ šŸ˜„

Iā€™m currently trying to import a CSV file into one of my bases under aĀ Teams plan workspace, but Iā€™m receiving an error message stating that theĀ maximum allowed file size is 5 MBĀ  which, as I understand, applies only toĀ Free plans.

Could you please confirm why this limit is being applied to my paid workspace and help me resolve it? Iā€™d appreciate any clarification or steps to fix this issue so I can proceed with the import.Ā Please refer to the screenshotĀ below:Ā 

Thank you for your assistance.

Ā 

On allĀ ofĀ Airtable plans, the limit for importing CSV files is both 25,000 rows and 5 MB in size.

If youā€™re looking for a way to get around this limit, you would either need to:

  1. Break up your CSV file into multiple smaller batches.
    or
  2. Use a 3rd-party integration tool likeĀ Makeā€™s CSV modules alongsideĀ Makeā€™s Airtable modules. I demonstrate how to importĀ CSV files using Make on this Airtable podcast episode.

Hope thisĀ helps!

If you have a budget and youā€™dĀ like to hire theĀ best Airtable consultantĀ to help you with this or anything else that is Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website:Ā Airtable consultant ā€” ScottWorld

The last time I had this issue I ended up:Ā 

  1. Importing just a bit of the data so that Airtable would create the fields for me,
  2. Opening the CSV in Numbers (Excel or Sheets would work fine to I reckon)
  3. Cut and pasted the CSV data into the table in batches

Check out Spreadsheet Import extention, it should be able to import your csv in one go.
