To insert your data click in the Paste here cell and press Ctrl+V to preview the import.
If there is any problem with the import, you will see the problematic cells coloured red.
If you hover over the red cells, there will be an error message of it, so you will be able to see the problem.
To fix the problem, go back to your Excel file or change the value right in the import screen. Just double click in the cell you want to edit and hit Enter when you finished.
(Please make sure that you paste values with correct column names.)
After fixing the problems, you will see the preview without any red cells and you can click on Create.
