# CSV

Returns the nth item from a comma separated list. The first item is 1. If there is no such item, the result is an empty string.

| Expression | Databox value        | Result   |
| ---------- | -------------------- | -------- |
| `CSV(2)`   | `gold,silver,bronze` | `silver` |
| `CSV(3)`   | `18843,49978,2114`   | `2114`   |

For a list separated by something other than a comma, use [Entry](/reference/expression-reference/text-expressions/entry.md).
