match records - importing

When I import from an excel spreadsheet, how do I change the "match records to" command. It automatically matches to zip.

Re: match records - importing

The way I do it using ‘Import Data Wizard’ is when it shows the panel with the columns of data it will tell you which it’s matching with. If it’s matching with zip code, but that’s not what you want then change the zip code ‘Data Type’ to other data and it will match with what it thinks is the next most appropriate. Then just vary the ‘Data Type’ definitions till you get the matching you want.
