I don't understand the distinction between these two cases.
An update of any product field is based on the id or unique model number, doesn't matter "where" they are.
Are you saying the group of products you want to update is just those in one particular category?


You have have any column you like in the spreadsheet. Apsona will not choke on it: it will just map the columns to field names it recognises, the others you can choose to map from the drop-down selector above the field, or not and they are ignored on the import.
I have an enormous spreadsheet for product control, most of which Apsona import can ignore with no problem.

If you can't map to where you want, contact Apsona, I think they can customise the code you download for you only.
Thank you for the guidance. I exported the data after my last three attempts at updating the data and the Category column returns blank. In other words, I import the data with a Category Column properly assigned and filled out. The data show up in my store. Next I update my CSV file to reflect new Quantity in Stock number, copy the CSV file (including the Category) to the the Apsona Shop Admin Import/Update field, get all the verify all the columns are there and select update. Everything seems to work ok, but all the items in the category I am updating disappears from my store. I export the file using the filter feature and find that everything...including the Enable column is there, and the Category column is there too...but all category name is missing from every line. What am I doing wrong?
