Attigou It looks like you are creating a duplicate Account- Data loader
Hi,
I am batching the data loader to do upserts accounts objects, using external IDs that need to be unique.
Data loader sends the following error: "It looks like you are creating a duplicate Account. We recommend you use an existing Account instead."
This error because I want upsert records where account's name is similar.
Example:
Name of account 1: Action Shop
Name of account 2: Action Shop London
Those accounts name are not 100% the same but data loader is not updating Account 2 claiming that thare is a duplicate.
Can anyone suggest ?
Thanks,
Attigou

This validation error is caused by duplicate management rule. In order to import such records, you should deactivate the rule. It can be done in Administer > Data.com Administration > Duplicate Management > Managing Rules > Deactivating rule.
Nick Bailey 8Im doing an update and I get this message "It looks like you are creating a duplicate Account". I did what you suggested and it updated, but why does it think its a new account?, if I am doing an update, with the proper ID record?
