Excel97 ?? Anyway, a CSV is perfectly fine to import into ProductCart.If you don't have a more recent version of Excel available perhaps try Open Office or Google Docs or even notepad to work on the CSV file. ]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 11:36:16 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/description-to-long-for-excel-column-limit_topic5502_post20962.html#20962 https://forum.productcart.com/description-to-long-for-excel-column-limit_topic5502_post20961.html#20961 Author: Chris Hadden

I am moving my old database into product cart. I can export my info from my old database as a .csv which works great but I am finding I have a lot of descriptions running over the 255 character limit in excel97 column width.  I can also export from the old database as a .xml but I am not familiar with this file format.  Any suggestions how to solve this issue.

Thanks
