[Tex/LaTex] Importing csv file into latex as a table

csvimporttables

I am using the \csvautotabular function to import data from a csv file. It has worked beautifully; however, I only want to import certain columns from the file. How can I exclude certain columns?

EDIT:

Okay, here is my csv file:

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 following columns I want to remove: Time (s), Y Position in pixels, Zeroed Y Position in pixels, Y Position in meters using original trans. Eq.

Here is what I have typed in TeXstudio, which doesn't work:

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.
