What happened?

Hi,

Thank you for the plugin. This is the main reason I actually started working with Obsidian. However, I cant' seem CSV import to work at all. Here is the sample CSV (opened a csv file as text and copied it here):

File,Var,Var Name,Var Source,Var Notes,Var Det,Var Citations
Governance Index,Gov_Gomp,Governance Index,,"Tab7 shows value-weighted FF alpha t-stat of 2.73. No loadings provided.  Table 6 shows portfolio FF3 regs, and that both SMB and HML loadings contribute to spread, so it's not super clear if the raw LS will be significant. Port sort is not very monotonic.","Index available from http://fac
ulty.som.yale.edu/andrewmetrick/data.html . The index is only available every 2-3 years for each firm, we replace intermediate missing values with the latest available one.  Value-weighted.","Gompers, Ishii and Metrick"
Cost of Equity,Cost_Eq,Cost of Equity,,,,
Cash Holdings,Cash_hold,Cash Holdings,,,,"Chowdhury, Rajib, John A. Doukas, and Jong Chool Park, 2021, Stakeholder orientation and the value of cash holdings: Evidence from a natural experiment, Journal of Corporate Finance 69, 102029."

No cells are populated. No notifications. Can't find any info after googling for weeks. This is a simple CSV file from Excel. If someone could help, it would be great!
