Trailhead Import Data, unable to complete Prepare for Data Import as i dont have any csv files
Hello,
I am following the training suggestions to exercise data import.
I am not asking about how to complete the challange, as example CSV is available for downlad from the page. I am interested in completing the 2 exercises for importing data using Data Loader and the Wizard.
Under section: Prepare for Data Import
There are 4 steps to follow. First 2 say:
1. Use your existing software to create an export file.
2. Clean up the import file for accuracy and consistency. This involves updating the data to remove duplicates, delete unnecessary information, correct spelling and other errors, and enforce naming conventions.
Steps 1 and 2 suggest i should use some existing data for this exercise. I dont have any existing data, and i dont know how could i have any...its not like im running some CRM at home...
Am I missing something? How have you managed to complete exercises requiring that data.
Please advise.

Well in fairness, that is not an exercise mate. Its a guide on how to start importing data from a non-salesforce data source into Salesforce.
As an admin, you must follow those steps to prepare an import file.
Don't see a problem there. But I might be mistaking.

Data Management,
Import Data
I imagine the exercises are for ... exercising, and a challange, should pose a ... challange based on the exercised knowledge...
Hence i would expect different set of data for each.
