'Duplicate name' error encountered when importing from Excel

Scenario:

You are importing questions to your project via Excel import, but you are unable to as you are getting an error message.


Solution:

  • If questions and sections already exist in your project: 

Repeated criteria should be removed from the spreadsheet i.e. the spreadsheet should only contain NEW questions you wish to append to the existing question tree. 

Note: For Lot based projects you must include the Lot name in your import spreadsheet. 

 

  • If no questions yet exist in your project (i.e. you are starting from scratch):

Please check your spreadsheet and remove any duplicate questions that share the same section path.

i.e. you can have two questions with the same name, but they must not appear under the same section heading.
