Hello

 

Trying to import from excel into an existing dataverse table, it doesnt show any error, and everything is ok, but the data doesnt get uploaded into dataverse 

But if i choose to import into new table, it does import why is that?

    Hi @chahineatallah1,

    Add an index column to your Excel data in the transformation stage in Power Query and use it to map to the ID field.

    Cheers,

    Fernando

    Unfortunately, it also didnt work, what i ended up doing, is edit my dataverse table in excel, just copy pasted all columns, it worked, i think the issue is in my primary column as my primary column is a description which might not be unique

    any ways thanks

    so we found a solution with the help of one member of power community ,super user @AhmedSalih (who advised what the issue is)

    and the solution was pretty easy, just remove the spaces/trailing space in the column headers in my excel file , and the excel file was imported to dataverse, in addition if you have any choice columns, make sure your data in excel matches the choices data (specially the cases for example if you have "pending" as choice make sure it is "pending" in excel and not "Pending" to avoid errors also)

     

    How this issue was detected? in dataflows section it actually shows why the data was not published
