You must enter the data in the correct format. For this reason, we recommend that you:
- Employee budget export the data for a single employee
- update the export file in Excel, adding details for other employees
- save the changes, using File > Save As and select the type of Excel Workbook (*.xls) or comma separated file (*.csv)
- import the updated data into AE.

Locate the file name you want to import. The data in the selected .xls/.csv file displays in the content area.
At the First row contains column names checkbox, either:
