# Failed to import sampling point data

Asked by Sabrina on 2020-02-19

Hi all

I have some problems importing sampling point data. See my former [post][1].
The data import works neither with the OF sample file nor with my sampling points. I tried to upload the file as .csv and as .xlsx. Both do not work. Anyone know why?

Thanks for your support!

The solution is to use google chrome and import the sampling point data as an excel file.
