I’m having some trouble with this section and I’m not sure why. I’ve put in all of the data in the same way that the example was formatted, have checked all of the spelling, made sure to use underscores instead of spaces, and made sure there are no spaces between commas, and it keeps asking me “Did you include the Red Velvet Cake row data?” Here is how I’ve formatted it:
name,cake_flavor,frosting_flavor,topping
Red_Velvet_Cake,chocolate,cream_cheese,strawberries
Birthday_Cake,vanilla,vanilla,rainbow
Carrot_Cake,carrot,cream_cheese,almonds
I can’t understand what the issue is with it. Thanks.

I have the same issue. did you figure out what you did wrong?

You don’t need to use underscores “_”, just use spaces.

  1. Take out the underscores
  2. On the second row “rainbow” should read “rainbow sprinkles

I also had problem initially thinking I had carefully typed in everything. I was wrong, Just a space was missing somewhere. The underscore might not be the culprit. I finally got it even with the underscore.

Hi, why would underscores “_” are required for collumn headings but not for row values ?
