❔ Context

Actually, the separator used is ; while using , on GitHub gives a very nice preview. It is done this way on boavizta-data-us.csv :

Hey,

The comma , is used for describing floating numbers in French e.g. 3,14 for Pi, so it cannot be used as a column separator in CSV files. Hence the dedicated file suffixed with -fr and the ; separator.

boavizta-data-fr.csv is a "French CSV" version of the data (not a translated one) to be easily used with Excel or other related tools. So I would advise to only use the boavizta-data-us.csv if you want the nice preview (the data are the same) and process data.

See related section in README ;) https://github.com/Boavizta/environmental-footprint-data#data-sets

Ok, makes sense :+1:

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
