Import data through excel - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,
I have some data that I want to import into a specific table and it keeps on failing with the below error message:
Exception Message for CREATE: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I tried different ways to also import the data through:
  • Excel Online
  • Data Import
  • xrmmtoolbox - DataImport++
Unfortunately, it continues to show that message even though the lookup mappings are 100% correct.

Could you please advise why I am getting this error?

Best regards,

    Is the lookup column mapping correct?

    Hi,

    Can you please check if any plugin or workflow is running on your entity which is throwing an error?
