Error: 'Column ColumnName does not all DBNull value' when importing from CSV file

Written by Charnjit Singh Dharival

I run the data import and the following error message generates:-

Orchestrate Data Flow Import has failed. The detailed information is as follows:

Column 'ItemDescription' does not all DBNull.value

Import Command:
SELECT StockBalances.ProductCode as ItemCode
,StockBalances.Description as ItemDescription
, 1 as Make
, 0 as MfgBatchSize
FROM STOCKBALANCES.csv STOCKBALANCES


I cannot run the CSV import due to the following error message:-

Column 'ItemCode' does not all DBNull.value

Import Command:
SELECT DISTINCT STITEM05 As ItemCode
,STITEM05 As ItemDescription
,1 AS MfgBatchSize
,Blend as ProcessCode
,Kg As UnitCode
,LEFT(STITEM05,1) As ItemTypeCode
FROM [NAME OF FILE.CSV]


Please check the following:

  • Check the CSV file and you will see a empty field for one or more rows

  • Check if the order needs updating from the ERP system with the missing information or delete the order

  • Download a new version of the CSV file from the ERP system

If you still cannot find the missing order or other data, Please raise a new case online and reference the title of this article.
