    Hi @Shafdev,

     

    To make sure you don't actually have any other duplicates, create a duplicate detection rule for Account based on account name and status. Then run a duplicate detection job.

     

    Also, are you using the classic import wizard? If so, you should be able to map the Account Lookup to the Account name and Status fields as shown below.
