Google base, spreadsheet form bulk uploading

[Chell]

DP has told me to create a spreadsheet with all my stock so he can bulk upload it (or attempt to bulk upload it) to Google base.

See here:
http://www.google.co.uk/base/help/tab_instructions.html

But where in my spreadsheet do I list the attributes? I can't see them on the screen shots shown.

[Tanya]

I think you list the attributes in the column headings across the top row :unsure: shrugshoulders111

[Tanya]

scroll further down the page on that link you posted and you will see them

[Chell]

Does it matter what order they are in though? I have picked out the ones relevant to my products and added them after the basic ones eg title etc.

I have completed what I have for one product but my head is mashed. I'm off to bed, I'll do some more tomorrow night.

Thanks Tanya.

P.S how is your site coming on?

[Tanya]

well with regards to the site, I need Daffs to tweak something for me but I am not bothering her atm because she needs a break and she is not well. Daffs if you are reading this then get off the pc and put your feet up!!

I hope it's ready soon, need to start adding products soon

Thanks for asking Chell

[Chell]

Good luck with it.

I have the kids making me a Play Doh meal so am going to try to tackle this while I supervise them. FIngers crossed it works.

Let me know how you get on. I wanted to start doing this tonight. Might be asking you lots of questions. Did you put on every product you sell? I find the whole thing very confusing!

I have 2 on there which I did individually but I don't think I did them very well, I don't think I entered labels for them.

I now have 9 in a spreadsheet to try to upload. EDIT: I have uploaded this and it says to check back in 1 hour to see if it has worked. I got a few errors as I went along but these were highligted in red. Fingers crossed this has worked then I can do the rest.

[Chell]

Argh, I had 9 errors, I think I have sorted them but it says I can only do 1 bulk upload per hour so I don;t seem to be able to resubmit it.

When I try to upload it isn't liking my currency, I have tried GBP and gbp as it says but it doesn't like either. Does anyone know what I should put?

[Al1x]

Make sure you are in the uk google base .... I tried uploading my items to the american one by mistake!!

http://base.google.co.uk/ <- thats the one you need to use.

Hope that helps

Al1x, I was on that one as you gave me the link. The error description says it supports US Dollars, Sterling etc then gives a link toi get the code. The code says GBP and on the example on google it says gbp. I have tried both and each way it says there is an error.

[Chell]

Update: I gave up on the spreadsheet as I got totally muddled.

I am now uploading them individually and have 7 products on. At last I follow it and am not getting error messages! Only 18 more to do, its so boring.

[Daffs]

I used a ready made contribution one only to found out that it's been changed and I had to start all over again (which I haven't been bothered wit yet but need to do as I've been asked loads)

[Chell]

Once you get your head round it all then its actually very easy, just boring. If I didn't keep chatting I would be finished! I'm just not sure if I have added the right labels for each word, I take it these are important?
