Exporting CSV for use with Mailchimp


Recommended Posts

I'm having problems exporting the newsletter csv and uploading it on my mailchimp account.

 

I keep getting this error message during upload:

"No emails in column

You must have an email address column to import a list"

 

When I open the file in excel I can see that the all the users details are in one line and there are no seperate fields for e-mail

sorry can't help you

 

I can only argue it can be a file format issue .. as you say you see a one line file in excel

 

Just open the file in a simple editor (wordpad or similar) and check if it is well formatted .. CSV is a comma separated value file it should be made of 1 line per record, fields delimited by " and separated by ,

To get around this issue, I opened the .csv file in MS Office.   Once the file was open I then saved it as a new .CSV and was able to edit the columns.   Once the new .csv was saved using Office, mailchip was able to import it and use my data.

Hi,

 

I have the same issue (this is so annoying)

My way of resolving this was to copy all the MS Excel cells (by dragging from column A to the end of my fields) and paste it to a Google Drive Spreadsheet (place your cursor on A1 and cmd-v).

Then, I go File > Downlad as > Comma separated values

 

And as Google does it right for everything, and Excel bad for everything, it worked for the import on Mailchimp!
