Hi @tonybol
The error is due to the Timescale in CSV not getting mapped to the Anaplan Timescale.
Use Custom Fixed-Position Pattern as highlighted in the screenshot below.
In the Box you need to type the same format as it's in the CSV.
In this case format should be :- YY-MMM
Edit the Action , update and RUN.

Hi @NatalyaG
Everything seems fine as per depicted in screenshot.
Could you pls. share screenshot of the module where you are trying the import the FX data.
Just want to check:-
1. If you are not importing data while in blue print view.
2. Are the dimensions pivoted properly for import.

Hi @abhi1017 !
Yes, sure, please find screens below:
Regarding 1st assumption: it's not blueprint view.. :
Maybe the problem is in the list "Country Currency" used in a module?
This list looks like:
When importing Country local Currencies.csv into the Country Currency List maybe there was a problem with duplicate values.. Please see my mapping there:
But the importing was resolved in no errors..
So for now I have no other assumptions on what can be wrong..

Hi @abhi1017 !
I tried to do as you said: I created module dimensioned by currency list (I created Flat list), time and rate (line item).
But there is still an error.. I'm desperate..
Are you sure it should be Custom fixed-position pattern - YY-MMM?..
I even don't know what else can be wrong..
Screens are below:

Please set Time tab as Periods and Patterns with Separators as Y-M in import screen. Reason is if we open the currency rate file in notepad then we can see date format is like '19-Jan , 19-Feb' hence format should be Y-M.

Hi!
I finally found the solution!
The settings for mapping should be - Periods - Y-M:

Have you tried using the Anaplan provided Time mapping options or directly used Custom fixed pattern in import action.?
If directly used Custom option , please try Y-M option provided by default.
Custom fixed pattern are to be used only when defaults options do not work for mapping because this is like hard coding.

U should change the language to english in the time tab

Use a custom view and type YY?MMM
With this it works fine.

I have done with the import now, may be it helps you moving further on the exercise.
1st attachment shows the final result once you done with the import.
To get that import done successfully, please look at the mapping in screen shot 2. Other 2 mappings are easy so just attached the time period mapping.
But before that you should have sys03 module updated like this in the 3rd screen shot attached.
To get that overview in SYS03, you should have currency conversion list updated like this. attached screen shot.
While importing data into currency conversion list, please keep blank for country mapping and also remove 3 extra euros.
Hope this will helpful?
