Troubleshooting Excel Conversion Issues
❌ File Won't Open
If your Excel file won't load:
- • File format: Use .xlsx or .xls files, not .csv or .txt
- • File corruption: Try opening in Excel first to verify it's readable
- • Large files: Files over 10MB may take longer to process
- • Password protection: Remove password protection before conversion
⚠️ Missing Data Issues
If some contact fields are missing:
- • Header row: Ensure first row contains column names
- • Merged cells: Unmerge any merged cells in your data
- • Empty rows: Remove blank rows between data
- • Hidden columns: Unhide any hidden columns with contact data
🔧 Data Quality Tips
For better conversion quality:
- • Consistent naming: Use standard column names like "First Name", "Email"
- • Phone formatting: Use consistent phone number formats
- • Remove formulas: Convert formulas to values before conversion
- • Text format: Ensure phone numbers are formatted as text, not numbers
✅ Best Practices
For optimal results:
- • Test first: Convert a small sample (5-10 contacts) to verify mapping
- • Clean data: Remove duplicates and fix formatting in Excel first
- • Backup original: Keep a copy of your original Excel file
- • Worksheet selection: Choose the correct worksheet if file has multiple sheets
