The import finished, and the table does not look like your file. Work through what the import decided on your behalf.

​
Work through the checks

1

Check the column mapping

Open Import from file again with the same file and look at the mapping. A column left unticked, or given the wrong name or type, explains most wrong tables.
2

Check the row count

A file with more rows than your plan holds imports up to the limit. The import dialog says so before Create table is pressed.
3

Check the file itself

Open the file in a spreadsheet. A missing header row or values shifted by a column reads as garbage on any importer.

​
Good to know

Yes. Fix the file or the mapping and import a fresh table, then delete the wrong one.
The import needs a table name and at least one ticked column. Every ticked column needs a name, and no two can share one. Fix what the dialog names and the button comes alive.
