Reproducing the Issue

Export the file as excel and re-import the same file still not able to import the off-line edit file.

Cause

This issue occurs if customer is importing comp rating with text value(that can be ideally entered with a dropdown list driven by a rating scale in Excel export file). By design this is known limitation we cannot import the comp-ratings if the values are text and as of now we only support numerics.

Delete the comp-rating column and import the excel file and the issue would be resolved.
