Excel Import Overwrote Existing Visits

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi There,

I just imported an Excel file that had 500 new visits on, and it did create about 400 new visits with the provided information no problem. However, for some reason it also modified about 100 existing visits, changing subject names, due dates, and a couple other details which leaves me with 2 questions:

1.) Is there any way I can undo the import, mostly to revert the existing visits back to the way they were?

2.) What do I need to do in order to ensure that they only create new visits and not overwrite existing ones?

Thank you so much for your help, let me know if you need any other information!

Best,

Steven

    Hi,

    If you need to always create new records when you import the files then you will have delete first three columns from your excel file as highlighted below -

    Above 3 columns are hidden which you might have to unhide by right clicking on Column D.

    Now Save As this file into CSV format. And import CSV file in Dynamics CRM.

    Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!
