Use this dialog to format each data column within the Spreadsheet Import grid.
Choose Utilities > Import > Spreadsheet. Double-click any column heading within the Spreadsheet Import dialog (or right-click within a column and choose Edit Column Title from the context menu) to open the Column Title dialog and then specify the appropriate column title. For a Beginning Balance or Period Balance column, you also need to specify additional information.
Note: You may use any column order within the Spreadsheet Import grid. If each column heading has been identified correctly, the data will flow to the appropriate fields within the CSA Chart of Accounts window or, if applicable, to the Tax Code Account Groupings dialog or the Schedule M-3 Tax Code Account Groupings dialog.

Special information
- It is possible to have two columns for the same period in the spreadsheet - one with debit balances and one with credit balances, in which case the column title represents a unique combination of name, period, and amount type.
- For a Beginning Balance column (GL client only), the period selection is based on year.
- For a Period Balance column (GL or Trial Balance client), the period selection is based on period-end date.
- Only one Tax Code column (for either the CS tax code or the AccountWare tax code) may be specified within the spreadsheet grid.
- For a Trial Balance client: Be sure to verify that the Grouping Schedule Codes or Subcodes to be imported have already been defined within CSA.
