    I have intitially split the CSV by a return line (literally a single return - i.e. press your return key on keyboard in a compose).  This I choose the first line as object 0 and split by a comma.  Then I take the length.

     

    This is worth reading https://www.damobird365.com/how-to-parse-a-csv-to-json-array-flow

    depending on where you CSV comes from, the encodig of the return line might not be as straightforward as a return line on a keyboard.
