I am building a federated learning model, but I want to use my own dataset, which is represented in a CSV file.  
any idea how can I use this data for simulation? and consider it distributed?  
since all of the tutorials available are working for the predefined datasets

Hello Kareem,

Yes I found an answer that worked for me, while suggests using the function ( `tff.simulation.datasets.FilePerUserClientData`)

You can have a look at this question in StackOverflow ([python - tff.simulation.datasets.ClientData to build federated learning model from CSV files - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71273332/tff-simulation-datasets-clientdata-to-build-federated-learning-model-from-csv-fi))  
Wish you all the best

Thanks a lot, but if you could share a complete example with colab that would be even better. I mean how did you handle it with different clients with any model.
