# csv import challenge

 * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-import-challenge/)
 * Importing csv data
    Variable products each with 2 variations assigned: 1) Postal
   2) Digital Download
 * I have (almost) successfully uploaded Variables and Variations.
    However there
   seem to be 5 fields in the csv variable data which get ignored. I have run the
   csv import process a few times.
 * These are the fields that don’t get taken up.
    Attribute 1 name = Delivery Attribute
   1 values = Digital download, Postal Attribute 1 visible = 1 Attribute 1 global
   = 1 Attribute 1 default = Postal
 * URL for csv of variables
    [http://edition-zefiro.com/csvuploads/EML-variables.csv](http://edition-zefiro.com/csvuploads/EML-variables.csv)
 * URL for additional csv of variations separated into 2: Downloads and Postal
    
   [http://edition-zefiro.com/csvuploads/](http://edition-zefiro.com/csvuploads/)
 * Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

 * The column header names are different than what is expected by default in the
   import process. You’ll need to make sure that they are being mapped to the correct
   field after the file is uploaded.
 * These are the titles that the plugin expects by default:
 * > Attribute 1 name
   >  Attribute 1 value(s) Attribute 1 visible Attribute 1 global
 * These are the ones in your CSV file:
 * > Attribute name
   >  Attribute value(s) Attribute visiblity Is a global attribute?
 * Try reviewing all the column titles and re-import once fixed. If you want to 
   make sure the formatting is correct on all of them, I’d recommend creating a 
   variable product manually through the dashboard, and then exporting the file 
   to verify how the plugin formats it.

    It seems so simple and obvious once it has been explained.
   You are truly a Happiness Engineer! Paul
