D365 Data Import - Import file has lookups

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 177

I still can't seem to find any direct answer about this, but I have an import file for a custom entity for the D365 data import tool that lookups to other entities in several columns. Do I need to put the GUID into this column or is there an easier way for the person creating the file to just add the text value of the lookup?

    Hi saturation,

    Please confirm if you are using Dynamics 365 (CRM) or Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Based on your reply I will move your thread to one of our other Community Forums for better visibility.

    FYI - this is an Excel file, but it seems to skip past the data mapping portion of the data import wizard. How do I get to that mapping?
