Duplicated indicator names on import

 
Hi
When I import using the data editor, each indicator name is duplicated.  For example the name 'subscribers' imports as 'subscribers subscribers' and the same is true for every indicator.  These then flow through to the flash file.  Any ideas on how to prevent please? I'm using StatPlanet Plus and Excel 2010. 
 
Thanks

Hi Mike,
It could be that you have a category column 'subscribers' as well? For importing it is best to have only one column for the indicator name. If you have multiple ones, the Data Editor will try to 'combine' them.
For an example 'source file' structured for importing, please see:

Hi Frank
My source data spreadsheet has just 2 columns, one headed 'country' and the other 'subscribers'.  The import works ok in StatPlanet and the duplication happens in StatPlanet Plus so I'm guessing there must be a difference between the two data editor files perhaps?
Many thanks
