# Uploading Your Data to Doowii

{% hint style="success" %}
The Table Uploads feature, accessed in the Data tab, allows you to import CSV, Excel, or TSV files directly into your workspace for immediate querying and analysis.
{% endhint %}

### What You Can Do with Table Uploads

* Upload your own dataset in CSV, Excel (.xls/.xlsx, single or multi-tab), or TSV format.
* Access your uploaded table at the top of your dataset list in Data Explorer.
* Query and visualize your data alongside Doowii’s built-in tools.
* Delete tables at any time if you no longer need them.

{% hint style="info" %}
Uploaded tables are private to the user who uploaded them. They are not shared across your institution’s account. Have questions about uploading data for your entire team? Contact Doowii to discuss your options. 
{% endhint %}

### How to Upload a Table

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### **In Data Explorer (Data tab), click the** <i class="fa-upload">:upload:</i> **Upload Table button.**

*Located in the left-hand sidebar, all admin and system admin users may upload tables to Doowii for their personal use.*&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Select your file (CSV, Excel, or TSV).**

*50 MB per file. Excel files with multiple tabs are supported, with each tab uploaded as its own table.*

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Enter a Table Name**

*Duplicate table names are not allowed. Only letters, numbers, and underscores allowed.*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Review Columns**

*Review the column names, data types, and indicate whether each column should be excluded from the upload.*&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Preview Table Data**

*Review the schema and data as it will be uploaded. If there are errors in the data, click cancel and restart.*&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Confirm Upload**

*Once satisfied, click the Upload button to confirm the data upload. It may take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the file size, to complete the data processing steps to make your data available. Check the Data Explorer to confirm the upload status.*

{% endstepper %}

### Limits and Restrictions

* **File size limit**: 50 MB per file.
* **File formats supported**: CSV (comma-delimited only), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), TSV.
* **Special characters**: Emojis and unusual symbols may not display correctly.
* **Joins**: Table joins are not supported in this version.
* **Data Refresh**: Uploaded data cannot be refreshed. To update the data, delete the table and upload a new file.
* **Table Access**: Uploaded tables are private to the user who uploaded them. They are not shared across your institution’s account. Admins can still share files across accounts using the [Knowledge Library](/top-resources/preferences.md), which is separate from Table Uploads.

### Managing Your Uploaded Tables

* **View data**: Open your table directly in Data Explorer to see raw data.
* **Delete a table**: Use the delete option if you uploaded test or incorrect data, or if the data has expired and is no longer needed. To delete a table:
  * Navigate to the Data Explorer
  * Select your Table,&#x20;
  * Click the **Delete** <i class="fa-trash">:trash:</i> button (top right corner below your user profile information)
  * Confirm deletion
* **Replace or Refresh data**: To update, simply upload a new file (the old table can be deleted).

### Troubleshooting

* **Upload fails immediately**: Check the file type (only CSV, Excel, TSV supported), delimiters (comma or tab only), and file size (50 MB max file size).&#x20;
* **Error**: **Duplicate Table Name**: Rename your table and try again.
* **Unexpected characters in data**: Avoid emojis or special characters.
* **File too large**: Keep under 50 MB (split files if necessary).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.doowii.io/getting-started/quickstart/exploring-available-data/uploading-your-data-to-doowii.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
