Preview data

If data in your CSV file is missing or incorrect, the affected cells will be highlighted in red in this preview. Hovering the mouse pointer over the red-marked cell will show you which error is involved. If the CSV file contains errors, it is not possible to import the data. In such a case, you must edit the CSV file accordingly and upload it again.
