Hi,

I’ve used Excel Data Migration Tool before. But now I got this problem that when I try Validate or Execute, Excel-Add-In reads everything to the first column. I have a simple example with 2 columns A and B. But Excel-Add-In reads both column A and B to the first column. So the value for column A is getting to long and the value for column B is left empty.

Is there some configuration for this. Thankful for ideas.

BR,

Patric

Hi @evrpatrin 

Which Migration Job are you using and how many columns is the job expecting?

First I tried with a job for Inventory Location. But when I got this error I created a new job for basic data for Eng_Part_Main_Group. The job have 2 columns. 

A - Part Main Group

B - Description

And when i add values to column A and B and try Validate or Execute both column A and B is added to Part_Main_Group and Description is getting NULL.

@evrpatrin I have just created an Excel Migration Job for Sales Region and all has worked.

 

The Migration Job:

 

 

On validating in Excel Migration the Result column displayed Validate OK

 

 

Next clicked Execute and the Excel Migration displayed ‘Inserted’

 

And on refreshing the Sales Regions page:

 

 

I hope this helps.

 

If you are still having issues please let me know.
