CSV UI import error: Missing expected annotation datatype

What’s missing here? Influx serverless “Upload a CSV” complains with error : “… Missing expected annotation datatype…”

#datatype measurement,tag,tag,tag,double,double,double,double,double,dateTime:number

Hello @erehm,
Welcome!
Ooof I hate these errors. They’re always so hard to spot.
Did you create this annotated CSV by hand?

What I like to do is space everything into columns so I can visualize better

measurement,tag,     tag,     tag,       double,      double,     double,       double, double,           dateTime:number
measurement,floatTag,cycleTag,startTag,  lat,         lon,        p,            t,      psal,             timestamp
profile,    0062,    001,     2023-06-27 12:36:07,    19.615,     -156.3066,    4.3,    26.216, 34.757,   1687875668000005376

We can see that you’re missing a column for the other double value and the datatype header

The CSV copy/pasted below uploads fine to the local InfluxDB OSS V2.71 system on my Mac. There are a few errors logged for NaN values in field NCEP_PRES, but all data is otherwise present in my local InfluxDB instance/bucket. I can see the data via the local InfluxDB dashboard (http://localhost:8086) and can query/use it via Flex queries in Grafana. The correct data appear as correct datatypes for measurement, tags, and fields. So, I know the data format and annotation header is correct.

ericrehm$ influx write --bucket FloatTest2 --format csv -f Navis0062_Data_profile_tiny.csv

This same files fails to load via CSV drag and drop on my free Serverless Cloud instance/bucket with the error message below:

Failed to upload the selected CSV: error in csv.from(): failed to read metadata: missing expected annotation datatype. consider using the mode: “raw” for csv that is not expected to have annotations.
