# CSV data cannot be imported

 * I’m having trouble importing redirects as a CSV file. Even the sample CSV template
   didn’t work.
 * Could this be a problem with my spreadsheet program? I use Apple Numbers and 
   export the CSV file as Unicode UTF-8.
 * I always get an error message saying that the table column headers must contain“
   source-url” and “target-url”—but these are definitely there.
 * Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
 * Thanks & Cheers!
 * Frank

 * Hello [@tricktrommler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tricktrommler/) ,
 * Thank you for reporting this issue and for sharing the details. We truly appreciate
   the time you’ve taken to investigate the behavior and provide such helpful feedback.
 * We’ve reviewed the issue and identified an improvement that should make the CSV
   import process more reliable, particularly for files exported from spreadsheet
   applications such as Apple Numbers.
 * This improvement is planned for the upcoming SureRank update. We’ll keep you 
   posted and let you know as soon as the new version is available.
 * Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve
   the plugin and provide a better experience for all users.
 * Best regards,
   Namrata
