Hi Doria
I also encountered same problems, after that I tried these few steps:
1. The excel file with accounts has 4 duplicate entries, please delete those rows.
2. Enter Type: Residential under Type column.
3. For the States column, make sure that all states are in two letters format for example, Colorado must be CO.
4. During import, you will see three different panels, in the middle panel, choose mapping correctly (as I remember there should be 2 mappings contact and account name). This was the step, I was doing wrong as I was not entering anything in this middle panel.

I am pretty sure, you will get through this challenge if following these steps. Good Luck.

Hi Doria, 
Here is the snapshot of my solution.

1.Account name should be in camel case.
2.Enter type as "residential" & the field which don't have type enter "other".

Hope this would help.

Hi Doria,
Did you find a solution? I still can't figure out why it's not working for me.
Best, Laurent

Hi
 For me the problem was I wrote Barras in place of Barrass
If it's still not ok post a screenshot of your records

Thank you, Doria! I actually did the same thing! I was not paying attention to it as the error only mentioned the 'Type' issue.

Doria - thank you!!! I was stuck on this for the longest time until I read this thread about "Barrass."

Hey, I was getting the same 'Type' error.  But it was a misspelling I created in the import.  I also created a new org so I could start from scratch..

@Vignesh. Please ensure you have followed the below steps .

1. The excel file with accounts has 4 duplicate entries, please delete those rows.
2. Change the account names in capital (count names should not be in all capital letters.)
3. All accounts must have a Type (Residental)
4. All Billing States must use the two-letter state abbreviation instead of spelling out the full name. (Change state names to CO,NM,NV respectively)
5.  Enable Residental Picklist value from Account object filed setting (Click Activate on Residental Picklist value from Inactive Values tab)
6. Upload the CSV file through Data loader (or) data loader online (https://dataloader.io/)

Note:

Incase of any issues if we want to delete all the record imported we can use SETUP> Data > Mass Delete Records
Condition: Account alias owner - Equals - Your nickname in org (Will return all records created/Imported) by you.

Goodluck!

Hi Paranthaman ,
When I try to importing which was asking to Map ,So I mapped account name .Later successfully importing I can able to see the output as  all the fields updated under Account name.
Example:
(Sam Heath;Residential;Hot;NM;1234567890;https://twitter.com/trailhead;Odessa;94114;45000)

Hence I tagged one by one as "Account Name Type RatingBilling State/Province Phone Website Billing City Billing Zip/Postal Code Annual Revenue",which is not allowing it thrown error as (Xsd.Double)

Please suggest me

3. All accounts must have a Type (Residental)
4. All Billing States must use the two-letter state abbreviation instead of spelling out the full name. (Change state names to CO,NM,NV respectively)
5.  Enable Residental Picklist value from Account object filed setting (Click Activate on Residental Picklist value from Inactive Values tab)
6. And then Upload the CSV using Dataloader.

Follow these steps.

Prabhu M 13, you have semicolons instead of commas, i had the same problem, open your file in an ordinary editor, change it and only then save and upload the file
