Error: Problem creating contact list when importing spreadsheet


If you get a "problem creating contact list" when importing a spreadsheet, it usually means that there is a problem with the spreadsheet. Here is how to check your spreadsheet for problems:
  1. Check the headings. If you have an extra heading on one different than the default headings the import will fail. To fix, make sure your headings match the import template.
  2. Check for blank rows. To fix, remove blank rows.
