It lets you create tables from a CSV file. Now you can also create SQL tables by importing Excel files into Hue. We have 2 options for file import 1. [Direct Importer](/blog/2021-05-26-improved-hue-importer-select-a-file-choose-a-dialect-create-a-table/) ![Importer direct upload steps gif](https://cdn.gethue.com/uploads/2021/11/direct_importer_xlsx.gif) **Note:** Supports (.xlsx) excel file type only. 2. [Remote Importer](https://gethue.com/hadoop-tutorial-create-hive-tables-with-headers-and) ![Importer remote upload steps gif](https://cdn.gethue.com/uploads/2021/11/remote_importer_xlsx1.gif) **Note:** Python2 based Hue does not support remote excel file importer. You can try this feature in the latest Hue version or at [demo.gethue.com](https://demo.gethue.com/hue/indexer/importer).
