Common issues with Excel files

There are some usual questions that arise when talking about excel files formats and its content before uploading them in TargetMap.
If you follow these guidelines, there is a big chance of getting your excel file shown on Googlemaps without any problem.

• Data must be in the 1st sheet of your excel file
• All excels must contain a column with territory names or zip/postal codes. Excels with zip/postal codes create more accurate ReportMaps. From zip/postal codes you can create county, region, province... maps
• 1rst row of your spreadsheet is used for column titles. Use the 1rst row (A) of your excel file to describe columns.
• It is better if your zip/postal code column is in text format. If your zip/postal codes column is in number format all codes beggining with a 0 (zero) wil not be detected.
• Be sure your columns with quantities are in numeric format (or currency). Otherwise TargetMap will not be able to operate with those columns.

If your excel can not be uploaded, it usually is because the excel file contains corrupted cell formats. An easy solution is to copy the spreadsheet cells and paste into a new one (special paste - values)
