Hi  
I want to update a bulk of records by using excel import.  
Doc excel contains just 2 columns.  
first field is rowID to identify the record to update.  
second column contains field value to update.  
After importing, any record is updated and I have any error message.  
What is wrong ?

Import is used for adding rows. Not updating existing rows.
