Contact Import error: xx rows with mismatched contact ids
May 06, 2011, 01:29:32 pm
FYI, This is my second post regarding this load.

I am trying to import a CSV file using Import Contacts. It's set for No Duplicate Checking, although there are no duplicates in this file.  I'm using First and Last Names, External ID and Email, along with standard address fields.  The External ID is a lower case concatenation of First and Last names with spaces removed, and it's never blank.

After performing the load, in the Summary phase, CiviCRM reports that there were "32 rows with mismatched contact ids".  That's every record.  Then it tells me that none of the records were loaded.  The load is into an essentially empty database.  I don't know what the a "mismatched contact ID" is, nor how it could be mismatched.

But what's so odd is that it actually does load the records.  Running a search on Contacts shows that every single record loaded.

So is this something I should be worried about, or something I need to fix?  This is our initial data load into the system and we will likely never import anything from a CSV file again.  As long as the reocrds are actually loading, do I really need to be concerned?

Thanks for any help you folks can provide.

We are running:
Joomla 1.5.23
CiviCRM 3.3.5

I think I solved my problems.  It seems to have had something to do with duplicate records, or duplicate key fields.  When they were weeded out, the problems went away.  I think my mistake may have been selecting "No Duplicate Checking" instead of "Skip" for Duplicate Contacts.  I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I was under the understanding that there was no duplication in the input file.

So, problem solved.
