Dear Santoh

The link is not relevant  for the question

First specify what type of data do u have..

If it is bibliographic data, use marc edit..

There is a tool available in marc edit called Delimited text translator. u can map the columns into marc fields.

I fit is patron data use koha default csv file from the patron bulk upload tool.
