Information on CSV file and its usage and function
I suppose you are asking for the CSV file format (Not about Volunteer Services) which stands for, Comma Separated Values file formats, that are represented with the extension of CSV.
The file represents tabular data. The first line represents headings of the table, while the other lines represent rows of the table and as the name suggests the values and names of the headings are separated by commas. An Example is as follows.
EmpID,Name,Designation,Salary
0102,John Smith,General Manager,45025.57
Usage
Many spread sheets and databases and program languages support CSV file format and therefore it is easy to share the data using this file system.

Information on CSV file and its usage and function
You can create a CSV file using Microsoft Excel. Enter data in a tabular format, in a spreadsheet and when saving the file just save it as CSV. If you don't have Excel, you can create a CSV file in notepad. Once you create the file, log on to Google with your Google ID and go to Google docs.
Upload the file using the link. That's all.
It is quite simple work.

You can easily create CSV files using excel. Refer to file CSV creation for reference. As in the image the first rows should include the headings and the other rows should contain the data. After creating the file just save the file as CSV file format instead of any other formats. (Refer File Saving. JPG).
