finally found the issue ...the issue seems to be with the data where there are special characters that HTML doesnot understand .... try removing all special characters and upload, I think that will work ...

well I still have the same problem, never had it before the rev up. when exporting prods created in admin, store is defined as Admin, that will not import. changed it to default, that will not import, rather it does import, but does not associate grouped product with its simple products.
So I may have two problems, why this error below, and why is grouped product not asscoating with simple products? PS Ihave successfully imported several times when there were no grouped prods, and the store then was defined as default, I still have the good csv files that worked. So its puzzling why its telling me this now, could the rev up have a bug. And why a groupeld prod does not associate with its simple prods, when I used the exact same format. It just shows on the front end, but says out of stock, becasue its not asssocaited with any simple product.
# Skip import row, required field “store” not defined # Processed 100% 9/9 records
# Imported 8 records
two grouped products (1 grouped + 3 simple for each grouped=8, and I guess the headers are 9 and it skipped the headers for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks.
I too am getting this error. I really need to be able to upload products. I tried creating a test product and exporting it, the reimport of the .csv THAT MAGENTO MADE failed with the “store” error as well. This is terrible. Can someone please help?
I’ve uploaded the file I am trying to import and attached it to this post.
I fixed this problem by setting “default” as the name of the store in the csv, and modifying the import profile by selecting a website to import to (rather than leaving it as the root site).
As a side note to AnnaM, I remember reading a response from someone from Mangeto to a thread (or maybe it was in the “known issues” release notes) that DataFlow does not currently map configurable and grouped products. In my case, I created a stand-alone php script that reads the product database and creates a catalog_product_super_link record to link the simple products to their parent configurable products via MPN (manufacturer’s part number, a custom attribute that is shared between simple and configurable products, and is not unique for each products like sku is).
