If you have any difficulty installing/operating it please post details so that the issue can be duplicated and corrected... Depending on what is being seen/how the store is setup the latest version posted may correct your issue if you have had problems with this version of EP which by the statement above seems to be the case. Anyways, please post if was successfully installed or if not details of possibly reproducing the issue.

mc12345678,

install went good. i downloaded a file and excel 2013 opened fine. So i edited one products name description, and price. saved to my temp file in the csv format. then i upload and all seems good. however when i refresh my browser and check the item to see if the corrections are there, nothing changed. Am i missing something under "Product & Pricing Export/Import Options:"?

Items bolded are addressed below and in sequence with their occurrence in the paragraph.

1. downloaded a file - Prefix of downloaded file?
2. temp file - Prefix of file or just provide the full name of file?
3. after upload, was the file imported? (Please remember details are important, we are not able to see your computer screen while you do the things described.)
4. missing something - Well, also depends on which of the four options were chosen for export as to when importing what fields will be updated/modified...

Also, while not impossible to use Excel, there are potential issues with its use instead of Open Office which is the recommended editor. Excel tends to cause some issues with 1) quotation and upload of data and 2) dates as the saved date format should be YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY represents the four digit year, MM represents the two digit month (ie 05) and DD represents the two digit day (ie 24) and sometimes it does not save in that format... (I tend to omit the date column(s) if I have to use Excel in place of Open Office)
