Importing Spreadsheet not recognizing players

Post by mellis193 »

Hi,

I just want to start off by thanking the amazing contributions to keep this game alive.

My issue I'm having is when I import a spreadsheet the players are not being recognized. All I've changed is the data in the current ability/potential ability columns. I can put "a" in the mode column and they will be added to my database, but then I'm just duplicating players. Using "e" for edit or "d" for delete I get an error. It looks like this may have something to do with player histories? I can't understand why this happening otherwise.

Anyone that can help?

Much appreciated.

What error message do you get in the _errors.csv/xlsx spreadsheet?

Under Column A I get TRUE for every row.

Columns B C and D are for Club Contracted, Club Playing For, and Errors and all these cells are empty.

If you want, I can try to post a screenshot, however not quite sure how to do that unfortunately.

P.S. In my original spreadsheet I'm trying to import I keep Mode(e) empty as your spreadsheet guide says to do.

Thanks for your help!!

That means the Editor cannot find a person matching the selected name and DOB in the database. If you have double-checked these details are correct then upload the DB and spreadsheet and I'll take a quick look.

First link is my file and the second is the errors.

Now, when I just try to quickly export and import the database that was just released I'm getting a similar message.

Thanks for looking into this! Please let me know what you find. Much appreciated!

Can you upload the DB you're trying to import into?

I tried your spreadsheet on the v5 Pivot Rosters and it works fine (other than two errors but they're obvious typos).
