Why are some columns not recognized or missing after mapping?

Last updated on Apr 28, 2026

Short Answer: Often the wrong header row or sheet selection causes missing columns; confirm "1. Select sheet" and "2. Header row" then reselect fields.

PreRequisites

  1. You can identify row numbers and sheet names in the preview

Steps

  1. Check the value in "1. Select sheet" to ensure the correct sheet is chosen.
    Correct sheet (e.g., "Vendor Statement") is selected.

  2. Verify "2. Header row" points to the row that contains column headings in the preview.
    Header labels appear in the mapping dropdowns.

  3. Reopen "5. Reference / Description" and look for the column labels; add them if they now appear.
    Previously missing columns are available to select.

Troubleshooting

  1. Column names appear as data values instead of headers.
    LikelyCause: "2. Header row" is set to the wrong row.
    Action: Change "2. Header row" to the correct number where column headings appear and re-check mappings.

  2. Expected sheet name is not listed in "1. Select sheet".
    LikelyCause: The file/sheet was not included in the load process or sheet name differs.
    Action: Return to the file import area (outside this dialog) to confirm the file includes that sheet, then re-open this configuration dialog.

Note: If you cannot resolve missing columns by changing header row or sheet, check the source file for merged cells or non-standard headers.
