Excel import gives error

I receive the error the import file appears to be invalid for importing requirments for Excel. The 1st row must specify fields that are imported...

I believe I have the file correct. I need .xlsx files for long multi-line descriptions. I feel like I'm missing something simple...

I have tried to create a 2 line test file and receive the same error. Please see attached.

Hi John,

The file you attached does appear to be correct at first glance. The cell that contains "Name " has an extra space after the text. Once I removed this extra space, I was able to import the file just fine. If there are two or more words in the field name, you may optionally leave out the space between them (e.g. both "Assigned To" and "AssignedTo" will be accepted). Spaces after the text, however, are not supported.
