Hi,

As i can see the format of the month columns in your file is different from the general one.

If you use a built-in time scale, then:

You have to either customize your template by changing the format to YYYY-MM or to map manually the time mapping. Kind of like in the screenshot below:

Anyway, you have to look at what is time mapping in your import settings.

Hi,

On the previous page when setting up the import source you have to switch your data rows to the second position. See, your file starts with first line wich has only one cell with "Volume".

From Anaplan side this line is not needed and you can skip it. To skip some lines there is a feature:

Header row will tell system what to be used as mapping for columns.

First data row will be where the system has to start reading the actual data to be loaded.

In your case it is:

Header: 2

First Data Row: 3
