Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Transaction Date

The 'Date' column is required for transaction tracking

File without Date column
Column with dates like 01/15/2025

Export must include transaction dates

Go to Upwork → Reports → Transaction History → Download CSV

Invalid Transaction Amount

Amount column contains non-numeric values

pending or N/A
250.00 or -15.00 (for fees)

Amounts must be numeric (positive for income, negative for fees)

Ensure transaction is completed before including in export

Missing Transaction Description

Each transaction should have a description or type

Re-export ensuring all transaction details are included
