Column Name not registering correctly during data upload

I would like to request for support for some guidance.

I am trying to upload a simple dataset to Qlik Sense, but upon uploading the app seems to not properly register the column names from the original file. Instead, it transforms the column names into data rows instead.

What could be the issue? I have tried uploading it through different formats like csv or excel, and still facing the same issue.

Notice the excel column names not being followed, and being read as a row instead.

Make sure you specify "Embedded field names" in the wizard when you select the file
