Importing csv file into latex as a table

The csvsimple manual describes it. This is an modified example from the manual.

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{csvsimple}


\begin{filecontents*}{grade.csv}
name,givenname,matriculation,gender,grade
Maier,Hans,12345,m,1.0
Huber,Anna,23456,f,2.3
Weisbaeck,Werner,34567,m,5.0
\end{filecontents*}


\begin{document}
    \begin{tabular}{l|c}%
    \bfseries Person & \bfseries Matr.~No.% specify table head
    \csvreader[head to column names]{grade.csv}{}% use head of csv as column names
    {\\\hline\givenname\ \name & \matriculation}% specify your coloumns here
    \end{tabular}
\end{document}

result is:

If you have spaces in your header you can't use head to column names. So you may use \csvcoli etc. Here a quick example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csvsimple}


\begin{filecontents*}{Basket_ball.csv}
    Time (s),Zeroed time (s),Y Position in pixels,Zeroed Y Position in pixels,Y Position in meters using original trans. Eq.,Y Position In Meters using new trans. Eq.
    43.97,0,734,528,14.22624,18.26294
    44.01,0.04,731,525,14.11335,18.14345
    44.04,0.07,729,523,14.03819,18.06389
    44.07,0.1,726,520,13.9256,17.9447
    44.11,0.14,720,514,13.70096,17.70686
    44.14,0.17,718,512,13.62624,17.62774
    44.17,0.2,714,508,13.47704,17.46974
    44.21,0.24,711,505,13.36535,17.35145
    44.24,0.27,706,500,13.1796,17.1547
    44.27,0.3,700,494,12.95736,16.91926
    44.31,0.34,696,490,12.8096,16.7627
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}



\section*{Theory}
    \begin{tabular}{l|l}%
    \bfseries Time (s) & \bfseries Zeroed time (s)% specify table head
    \csvreader[head to column names]{Basket_ball.csv}{}% use head of csv as column names
    {\\\hline\csvcoli&\csvcolii}% specify your coloumns here
    \end{tabular}

You can use pgfplotstable or datatool which I think csvsimple comes from. Here is an example with pgfplotstable with default settings.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable,filecontents}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.9}% supress warning

\begin{filecontents*}{test.csv}
Time (s),Zeroed time (s),Y Position in pixels,Zeroed Y Position in pixels,Y Position in meters using original trans. Eq.,Y Position In Meters using new trans. Eq.

The service http://www.tablesgenerator.com/ lets you create latex-based tables in a GUI and then export the code. It also lets you upload a CSV and converts it aut
