How to import a csv file as DESeq2 object which contains non-integers value?

I have a data set in CSV format which contains non-integer values as shown in the following figure:

I guess this is a normalized version of the original read count table. So, when I tried to import this dataset as DESeq2 object I got the following error:

As I can understand, this error is trying to tell me to insert the original read count. But I don't have the original read count table.

Would you please suggest me, how I can import this CSV file as a DESeq2 object?

Thanks in advance.

This has been asked so many times before. DESeq2 takes raw counts and if you don't have them don't use DESeq2. If you only have normalized counts from RNA-seq then log2-transform them and use limma-trend, see limma manual for that. By the way, and I can only speak for myself, but I would never do an analysis based on guesses. Either get the fastq files or at least the raw count table (including code how it was created) or reject the analysis.
