XLSForm conversion error

Good Morning All,

I have problem in converting excel questioner to Xform using this link
http://opendatakit.org/xiframe/.
Anytime i attempt it gives me this message "Error: The survey sheet must
have on the first row name and types column". Please see attached the
message

Can i have a helping hand through this?

Regards
Joe

Look at our example spreadsheet.

Compare it to yours.

It is likely that you have inserted a row before row 1, and therefore the
conversion app cannot find the column headings that it expects to see.

I am having the same problem, but I can't find any issues with the survey. I have even tried testing a tiny form that can't possibly have any bugs, and I've tried testing the sample. I still get this error message.

I have tried using XLSForm online, and have downloaded the standalone version, but have the same problem with both.

Any advice would be very useful!

You will need to attach your tiny test form in order to get assistance.

This error means that you have a blank "row 1" on your 'survey' sheet, or,
at least, that row is missing one or more required column headings.
It expects the very first row on the 'survey' sheet to contain the column
headings.

And I assume you are working with ODK 1.x tools -- not the newer 2.0 tools.

I got the same error. Is there any solution for this? i am uploading both forms cascade_select_one.xlsx (11.8 KB)
line_listingSample.csv (365 Bytes)

Bonjour, @Stalker only xls format file can be converted!

So your first file Cascade_select_one.xls, the problem is that you have put any label in the question line 3 and 7.
The conversion will pass but in ODK collect you won't see labels at these questions.
Thank
