    Hi,

    I have 300 places / 600 events in Excel. Can I import theses even if some data in some fields are missing (such as long/lat, event start / ebd time) and add these manually later? Or does this crash the import?

    Many thanks
    Lars

    Hi Lars, in V2 you do not need long/lat, but you do need complete addresses.
    You can import them as all day events.
    You should only use LibreOffice to prepare CSV files for import, Excel adds hidden code that often breaks imports.

    Thanks
