Is it possible to import multiple csv files into a Confluence Database page

kgilmore January 12, 2025

My team would like to convert a shared excel file over to a Confluence Database page. The file has 7 tabs. It's a small infrastructure inventory file, only 4 columns, each tab uses the same exact column names, and each tab has 800 rows or less. I would like to replicate the tabs as views in the Confluence Database page. I converted each of the tabs into csv files for import. I created 2 views and used the csv import option to add the data for the first view. However, when I click on the 2nd view, it shows the same exact data as the first view. I tried adding the 2nd csv and it overwrote the data on the first view. I created a new 3rd view tab that also shows the same data. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Is there a limitation to 1 csv import per Confluence Database page? I expected each new view to be blank. What is the purpose of the views?

I think that I figured it out. I combined all of the excel tabs into a master list then exported the list as a CSV and imported it in the Confluence Database page. I used the master list to create new filtered views that replicated the excel tabs. This worked!

Hi @kgilmore

In confluence, we don't have option to import CSV or excel files. We can import only Space exports. Could you please let me know the process, how you are imported CSV file?

We have that capability in Confluence Database pages. When you create a new Database page

  • click on the 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner
  • select 'Import & Templates'
  • Scroll down to IMPORT --> CSV
