title: Jmeter : Read data (numbers) from CSV file in Jmeter
body: <p>I'm trying to design a load test for some APIs, I need to read the data from a CSV file, Here is my CSV file :</p>
  
  <pre><code>amount,description
  100,"100 Added"
  -150,"-150 removed"
  20, "20 added"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the amount is a number.</p>
  
  <p>My CSV data config looks like this:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Dudv.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Image</a></p>
  
  <p>When I put the body data like this :
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zXxED.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Image</a></p>
  
  <p>I have this error : </p>
  
  <pre><code>{"timestamp":1529427563867,"status":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"JSON parse error: Unrecognized token 'amount': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null'); nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unrecognized token 'amount': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')\n 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and when I change it to this:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/yOvfH.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Image</a></p>
  
  <p>I have this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"timestamp":1529427739395,"status":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.math.BigDecimal` from String \"amount\": not a valid representation; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.math.BigDecimal` from String \"amount\": not a valid representation\n at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 2, column: 13]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How should I pass the parameters to be able to read from the CSV file?</p>
  
  <p>P.S it works fine when I do all the things without CSV.</p>
