We ("The Reader Calendar") have created a custom field for "venues" in our events calendar, and I am trying to populate that field, as well as the subordinate fields on the edit custom fields/actions page (eg: venue address, Web site, phone, etc).

I have some thousand venues (and the associated info) in a csv to get uploaded to that field.

I understand the Edit Custom Field/Multiple Values csv form for uploading the custom field names (in this case venue names), and can upload those in a batch, no problem.

That's just the venue name, though.

Is there any way to batch upload a csv for the rest of the data behind the venue name (the fields on the "actions" page)?

Here is an example of my csv data.

3rd Street Live,1204 3rd St SE,,Cedar Rapids,IA,,,,,http://www.3street.com
620 Collective,620 15th St,,Moline,IL,,,,,
Abbey Hotel,1401 Central Ave.,,Bettendorf,IA,,,,,
Abbey Station,3031 5th Ave.,,Rock Island,IL,,,,,
Adler Theatre,136 E. 3rd St.,,Davenport,IA,,,,,http://www.adlertheatre.com

Again, no problem populating the name of the venue, but I'd hate to have to populate those other fields manually for this size dataset.
