Verify the collection and environment (if any). Select Choose files
, and load the data file in the collection runner. If the data file was loaded successfully, you can preview the values within the Collection Runner.

The iteration count can be anything from 1 to 3. If the number of iterations specified is greater than the number of rows in the data file (excluding the column headers), then the collection runner will iterate over the last row's values.
Run the collection by hitting Start. You'll see the collection requests running in sequence and the results of your tests.
