How to define record type in excel when adding new items into the Salesforce Data Loader

So I am trying to load new items from a sales rep into salesforce to create leads using the Data Loader however, I cannot get them to load into the correct record type? Thoughts?

Hi, Record Type name is saved to RecordType.Name column for any SObject. Can you try to include RecordType.name as column in Excel If you know record type name of all records and try to import.

Hi Sean,

Add a new column in your csv file called RecordTypeId and populate this column with the desired record type id. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.
