CSV - ERROR "duplicate field" message

[EvelynChan]

Hi all,

I have been running into the same issue with Arc Online where I try to import from file and upload my CSV but it shows the error message "An error occurred while creating features. (Duplicate field names are not allowed. ())" This has been occurring even when:

1. I make sure my headings don't have spaces (instead, they would be filled with "_").

2. And I have ensured that there are no duplicate field names. 

Is there alternate way to upload my CSV so I can have my point data on my map?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Janelle,

This csv looks to have a lot of blank fields. I'd suggest removing them or talking to the data provider about cleaning up this dataset. Unfortunately as you don't maintain the data, you can just react to the problems the dataset provides by removing the extra fields.

This solution worked perfectly for me. Something I'll keep an eye out for in the future. Thanks, Kelly!
