General Instructions for Importing Data 

Greetings everyone.  I've search and sorted and read the blog and read the manual.  Having a hard time finding import instructions.  I have an Excel sheet that I have exported into XML, then uploaded the file.  I have created and defined fields for my UDT, then tried to import the data from the XML file.  No luck.

Best links where I can read up on this and figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Any chance that comma or tab delimited file import will be made available for this module in the future?

Thanks in advance,
Chad

Re: General Instructions for Importing Data 

Chad,

do an export and adopt your import data to meet the same format.

Re: General Instructions for Importing Data 

Thanks Sebastian, I guess I'm not sure how to do that.

When I export from my UDT I get this:

Re: General Instructions for Importing Data 

You need to modify your export from Excel to use the exact same formatting/structure as the export from the DNN Module.

You can't just take an Excel spreadsheet and save as XML for importing as a DNN module.

In addition, the filename of the XML that you upload needs to be named "content.DNNUserDefinedTable.uniquename" to be able to import.

Re: General Instructions for Importing Data 

I am attempting this for the first time with a simple 12 column 82 row spread sheet.  Nothing fancy.

The part I am totally lost on is "adopt your import data to meet the same format".   How is this done in Excel 2007?  I have been playing with the import / export features for 2 days now and have been to numerous MS help sites but I am lost and frustrated now.

All other steps have been completed so far (recreate columns in UDT, added 'dummy data', exported the xml file [udt]).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
