It sounds to me like your csv doesn't have values that are comma-separated? Is there a config option in your ODBC connection to specify the separator?

The initial file was in excel format I have saved it as csv (seperato: ';') . In the odbc connection there's no option to specify the seperator

Try saving it as comma separator ','
