Hi,
you just need to replace the values in the submission template, while keeping the structure, etc.
If you cannot find a solution, you can share your submission file with us so that we can check if there is any problem. Would that be ok?
In this case, please send an email to juliojj@gmail.com and c.palmero.cantarino@gmail.com
Some of us will try to provide you a feedback.
Best

This might be rather obvious to say, but I'd make sure of the following:
- FIletype is actually a ".csv", not ".csv.txt" (or something else).
- No spaces before or after the delimiters (the "," character).
- Newline characters are not messed up by the operating system.

PD:
- If there's an empty line at the end of the submission file.
