Importing a csv file into icompta 3

Post by Bongo »

I am trying to import a csv file from an excel workbook into Icompta 3. After validating the settings and going into the Mapping Accounts section and pressing Validate the Mapping section appears. On trying to map the fields the fields at the bottom do not appear separately but are all in one line separated by /. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

It looks like you didn't put the right the CSV separator in the import settings. Can you open the CSV file with a text editor and copy/paste a few lines ?

The separator is unusual, it's '|' that's why it doesn't work. So you should replace all '|' with ';' with your text editor and then import the modified file in iCompta.
