I imported an XML file, myGmail filters,and encountered an error.  This is the error I got when importing the file:

Microsoft Office Excel encountered errors when importing the following files:

Source                                                          Error Import                      Status

C: \Users\Luis\Downloads\mailFilters. xml        Some data was imported    Complete

C: \Users\Luis\Downloads\maiIFiIters. xrnl        Some data was imported    Complete

My question is if I'm okay.

I get the same message on importing the file, but the data all seems to be present.

On expanding the Error Import column in the message I see it says

"Some data was imported as text"

I suspect it refers to, for example, the value 5 for the size property in row 241 which has been imported as a text value rather than as a number

    This would suggest to me that the XML file was not well-formed.

    If you are willing to share the file, put it on a file-sharing website and we can see if we can spot the problem.
