Having some problems re running my countries flat file import. Is this the view I should be importing on? Also these mapping continually give me errors. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Mhinnes,
This doesn't appear correct.
By importing column headers you are basically importing the every column of the first row as a "name". This should be column 2 "Country name"
You are also importing the column name as a code. I would expect the code to be column 1, but you'll need to verify that.
I tend to open my source-file on the screen next to me when importing data into lists or modules. This helps you visually to identify where the information is supposed to come from.
Good luck,
As mentioned previously it seems that the mapping is not correct. I would think that in your source file you have name, code and parent.
Name should go to name, code to code and parent to parent. Column header should not be mapped in this case.
Hope this helps.

The Country flat ( and all other first line when importing a list) represents the items that will make up the list. for example here, that would be the column in your source (CSV file) that contains the country names. You have to be specific when mapping.I have never seen Column Header used when importing into a list. I'm not even sure the option should be available (correction??)Anyway, once you map the column containing the names of the countries ( I assume it's Country Name you mapped to Code) the import should work.
Note: Unlike when importing to a module, you can map the same column in the source (your CSV file for example ) to more than one element in the target list.For example, if you don't have a designated Country Code in the source file then you can map Country Name To Code.
Thanks the tips really helped

We're looking to feed live or near-live Anaplan data into Claude through MCP, but our current approach — exporting CSV files via the Anaplan Bulk Export API, loading them into MySQL, and querying from there — has a significant lag (hour-long turnaround). Curious if anyone has found a faster path, whether that's through the…
Has anyone tested Analyst’s response quality/speed on large, sparse models (think 10+ dimensions, millions of line items)? Wondering if there’s a practical ceiling before it starts timing out.
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
