Thanks Lars. I haven't been able to reproduce it since, as you note, once a record has been made, it's an update so I would have to go in somehow and delete records, which I don't know how to do. Anyhow, for my purposes, it's working fine, so I don't think we need to investigate further.

Tom

Hi Lars,

Just a quick update. I now tried importing from csv for another 2 past years. The import seems to have gone through without any problems. The only odd thing is in the import summary it says 78 of the 475 records were "updated" rather than "imported" which as far as I know can't be correct, because I haven't stored any data for those years yet in the database. But anyway, they're in an that's the important part!

Thanks,
Tom


That is good.

A data value is considered an update if there exists another data value in the system with the same composite primary id (data element, period, org unit, category option combo). If you can reproduce the problem and want to investigate this further we can chat on gmail/skype.
