DataVerse import from Excel

Posted on by 29

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to import a Excel file in to a DataVers table with multiple dependencies.  When I go to dataverse select the table where I'm trying to import I chose import data from excel. 

 

I do the user mapping but after I'm able to click on Import I receive the following errors: 

 

Reason: Bad Request, Header x-ms-client-request-id 3f2fa369-8881-4c1f-94cd-a3c7d5e5f0da, Error code: 0x0, Message: An error occurred while validating input parameters: Microsoft.OData.ODataException: Cannot convert the literal 'SCHAARBEEK' to the expected type 'Edm.Binary'. ---> System.FormatException: Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string. at System.Convert.FromBase64_Decode(Char* startInputPtr, Int32 inputLength, Byte* startDestPtr, Int32 destLength) at System.Convert.FromBase64CharPtr(Char* inputPtr, Int32 inputLength) at System.Convert.FromBase64String(String s) at Microsoft.OData.ODataPayloadValueConverter.ConvertStringValue(String stringValue, Type targetType) at Microsoft.OData.ODataPayloadValueConverter.ConvertFromPayloadValue(Object value, IEdmTypeReference edmTypeReference) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.OData.ODataPayloadValueConverter.ConvertFromPayloadValue(Object value, IEdmTypeReference edmTypeReference) at Microsoft.Crm.Extensibility.ODataV4.CrmPrimitivePayloadValueConverter.ConvertFromPayloadValue(Object value, IEdmTypeReference edmTypeReference) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightReaderUtils.ConvertValue(Object value, IEdmPrimitiveTypeReference primitiveTypeReference, ODataMessageReaderSettings messageReaderSettings, Boolean validateNullValue, String propertyName, ODataPayloadValueConverter converter) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightPropertyAndValueDeserializer.ReadPrimitiveValue(Boolean insideJsonObjectValue, IEdmPrimitiveTypeReference expectedValueTypeReference, Boolean validateNullValue, String propertyName) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightPropertyAndValueDeserializer.ReadNonEntityValueImplementation(String payloadTypeName, IEdmTypeReference expectedTypeReference, PropertyAndAnnotationCollector propertyAndAnnotationCollector, CollectionWithoutExpectedTypeValidator collectionValidator, Boolean validateNullValue, Boolean isTopLevelPropertyValue, Boolean insideResourceValue, String propertyName, Nullable`1 isDynamicProperty) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightResourceDeserializer.ReadEntryDataProperty(IODataJsonLightReaderResourceState resourceState, IEdmProperty edmProperty, String propertyTypeName) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightResourceDeserializer.ReadPropertyWithValue(IODataJsonLightReaderResourceState resourceState, String propertyName, Boolean isDeltaResourceSet) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightResourceDeserializer.<>c__DisplayClass9_0.<ReadResourceContent>b__0(PropertyParsingResult propertyParsingResult, String propertyName) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightDeserializer.ProcessProperty(PropertyAndAnnotationCollector propertyAndAnnotationCollector, Func`2 readPropertyAnnotationValue, Action`2 handleProperty) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightResourceDeserializer.ReadResourceContent(IODataJsonLightReaderResourceState resourceState) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightReader.StartReadingResource() at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightReader.ReadResourceSetItemStart(PropertyAndAnnotationCollector propertyAndAnnotationCollector, SelectedPropertiesNode selectedProperties) at Microsoft.OData.JsonLight.ODataJsonLightReader.ReadAtStartImplementationSynchronously(PropertyAndAnnotationCollector propertyAndAnnotationCollector) at Microsoft.OData.ODataReaderCore.ReadImplementation() at Microsoft.OData.ODataReaderCore.InterceptException[T](Func`1 action) at System.Web.OData.Formatter.Deserialization.ODataReaderExtensions.ReadResourceOrResourceSet(ODataReader reader) at System.Web.OData.Formatter.Deserialization.ODataResourceDeserializer.Read(ODataMessageReader messageReader, Type type, ODataDeserializerContext readContext) at System.Web.OData.Formatter.ODataMediaTypeFormatter.ReadFromStream(Type type, Stream readStream, HttpContent content, IFormatterLogger formatterLogger)

    Hi @Noek ,

    Error: Cannot convert the literal 'SCHAARBEEK' to the expected type 'Edm.Binary'. 

    The error that you are getting clearly states that you are trying to add the Character/String value (SCHAABEEK) in one of the Binary field. Please map the right field values from the excel to dataverse table columns. 

    You can also try to import data from excel sheet through Dataflows.

    For importing data from excel using Dataflow:
