You can use the CSV import format which is described in this section of the docs:
docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_data_values.html#webapi_data_values_csv
You can either upload the file through the user interface from Apps > Import / Export > Data import, then select CSV as format.

You can also use the Web API to achieve the same, which is documented in this section:
docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_data_values.html#webapi_sending_bulks_data_values
Note that when using CSV format you must use the binary data option to preserve the line-breaks in the CSV file:

curl --data-binary @datavalueset .csv "https://play.dhis2.org/demo/24/api/dataValueSets" -H "Content-Type:application/csv" -u admin:district -v
