Ashok, You can check/try the following -
a. In the security editor, confirm that INDIAMUTUAL is in fact the namespace used for those 2 MF ISINs. b. I use the CSV importer every month to do just what you are trying to do. Only difference from your data is that I use the date format in yyyy-mm-dd format (in the data file) and in the import screen, I choose the y-m-d option instead. c. Actually, this might be your problem because your dates in the CSV file are dd/mm/yy, whereas the importer is expecting d-m-y. (separator is -, but you have /). Otherwise, your settings and data looks ok.

I have downloaded and prepared an import.csv file with 2 lines as: 05/08/21, INDIAMUTUAL,INF209KA12Z1, INR,143.021 05/08/21, INDIAMUTUAL,INF209K01546, INR,27.1064 Where the columns are Date, Namespace, From Symbol, To Currency, Amount The 'Namespace', & 'Currency To' dropdown comes up with an error respectively as: Error 1: Column 'From Namespace' could not be understood. Value can't be parsed into a valid namespace. Error 2: Column 'Currency To' could not be understood. Value can't be parsed into a valide commodity. Could somebody please explain to me how to import the prices? I think I'm doing it right - there's a screenshot below. The above example has 2 different mutual funds. Once the concept is proved, I plan to update many (~20) mutual fund prices from a single import csv file on a weekly basis.
