Error on update records "Salesforce query (), Contact Owner not supported....."

See error message I am receiving when attempting to update information changed (I highlighted only 2 cells as a test).
 
Salesforce: Query ()
Invalid Data Type, Missing Data Type, or other error
Type is Contact Owner
sObject Type Contact Owner is not supported.  If you are attempting to use a custom
object, be sure to append '_c' after the entity name.  Please reference your WSDL
or the describe call for the appropriate names.
 
All I had done was to extract a canned report and attempt to change a field when I received the above error.  Can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong.  It looked so simple in the Excel class at salesforce!!

to see which fields the connector can see , rather than use a report, let the connector generate the column names

so, enter "Contact" in cell A1,

then run Describe Table, from the menu

the columns that come back are the ones that the connector can work with.

these may differ from a list of columns found in a report.

This solved my problem!  I can't thank you enough.  I tried to do a query after exporting the report info (of course!).  My admin life has just gotten so much easier.  What a nice early Christmas present!
