In many computers Regional Settings affects how CSV is saved from XLS file.

MOR accepts CSV file where values are separated by comma "," and decimal places by point "."

Very often values are separated by ";" and decimal places by comma ","

In order to import such files, we need to fix them a little.





FIle in Excel looks like this:

Let's save it to CSV format:

CSV looks like this and we see incorrect file format for MOR import (';' and ',' instead of ',' and '.'):

Let's open this file in some editor (MS Word in this example - any other will be good also):

Crs4.png



We see same picture in MS Word also:

In Find and Replace window enter Find what: ',' and Replace with '.', e.g. we are fixing decimal values from ',' to '.':

Crs6.png



We replaced a lot of values:

Crs7.png



We see some improvement:

Again in Find and Replace window enter Find what: ';' and Replace with ',', e.g. we are fixing value separation from ';' to ',':

Crs9.png



Even more fixes done:

Crs10.png



We see correct file format:

Crs11.png



Let's save it to another correct file:

Now you are ready to import this CSV file into MOR tariffs.


Possible errors

If all your destinations are BAD - make sure you import them in E.164 format - e.g. WITHOUT international prefix.
