This is kind of a stupid question, but is there a way to format a csv

AFAIK: The answer is no.

The reason for asking is that for debugging purposes, I generate a csv
file containing many separate elements. What I normally do is to
import the CSV and manually split it into sheets and format headings.

As far as I know, CSV contains only data.  It has no provision for
spreadsheet functions, such as sheets or formatting.  Open up a CSV
file, in a text editor, and you'll see it only contains data and commas.
I agree, but I was wondering if there was some tricky ways to convey some additional information.

I think the only thing you can do is create a separate CSV file for each sheet and them import them individually using Insert Sheet from File. Adopting a file naming convention might make things easier ...

Which is exactly what I do.

There is another option - one question - is the format of the csv file static, or reasonably so?

hmm - Two questions.

Is there some data value already in a column that can be used to designate the 'break', and if not can one be added?

Let me know on those

Thanks

Drew
