Sounds like field mismatching. That is where the mapping becomes helpful but
it's own a complete and not partical basis.

Each fieldname listed is in a particular order.

Each field data listed (first name, last name,etc) are in that order. If
there is no data for that particular field, it is left empty. You may see
sections of each one like ,,,,,,,, which means the fields are empty.

Each of the fields match up to the data given. If more fields than data, it
can either error or try to go to the nect line and it just gets worse at the
end.
