I followed Google's instructions for creating a feed using Excel and converting to tab delimited text.

When I uploaded I got an error message that I don't understand.

Thanks in advance for any help

Message is

Missing required attribute: id (9 errors) Please make sure that you include all required attributes in your data feed.
Examples:
Examples:

Item Nr. Line No. 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8

Hi - Sometimes I get this too. As long as you have filled out the minimum necessary fields, you should be ok. Try copy and pasting in a fresh excel sheet and saving as tab deliminated and uploading again, this usually works for me.

Be careful with base at the moment as changes are taking place - look at Google Merchant Centre.

Just to make sure it's not you, your excel sheet should look like the picture below.

Thanks for the replies and sorry for not responding sooner. I got called away on Firday and didn't get back to the office.

I think Cater Trade has the answer. Thanks very much.
