# Excel spreadsheet checking orders during import

When importing an Excel spreadsheet to an application, the import operation checks the Excel spreadsheet in the following order:

1. Language columns whose language does not exist in the application
2. Component types that are invalid
3. Server names that do not exist in the application
4. Component names that do not exist in the application
5. Descriptions that do not exist in the application
6. Duplicate string references pointing to strings that do not exist in the spreadsheet
