[Qgis-user] Adding points as seperate layers

[Garth Fletcher]

Select your point layer
Click on "Open Attribute Table" tool (spreadsheet icon 3rd to right of 
"abacus icon")
Check if your M1 is listed
if not listed:
   it is seeing the first line as field, so that part is ok
   when loading the .CSV could you have told  it to discard a header line
     this should be 0
if listed:
   perhaps it has a third value that is neither "plain dot" nor "red dot"
   a candidate for a CASE with ELSE
     CASE
       WHEN Idx=1 THEN color_rgb(0,0,0)
       WHEN Idx=2 THEN color_rgb(255,0,0)
       ELSE color_rgb(0,255,0)
     END
