I keep getting an error message about my header row being invalid when importing a CSV file. I tried changing it to the sample from this article and it's still not working. Any ideas?
@HeatherPrice I recommend that you make sure the file is getting saved as a csv with UTF-8 encoding before you attempt to import it into Canvas; many times Excel changes the encoding to something else. Then I second @Ron_Bowman's suggestion that you export the gradebook from the Canvas course, add the grades from Performance Matters to the gradebook export, and then import that edited csv to the course.
@HeatherPrice -
Is this a csv file that your completely created from scratch? Or did you modify a downloaded csv file from the course? If the file is from scratch, I suggest downloading the gradebook from canvas and then keeping all the columns at the beginning and then get rid of all the assignment score columns and extra columns except for what you are trying to upload and use that file.
One last thought ( I just recently did this, and it will be rare if it applies to you) - if you are using a script from UC-Boulder that has an import button for certain items to the gradebook(If you have no idea what I mentioned here, then it is not the problem), then don't use that import option - just make sure that you use the import option from the menu options in the gradebook.
More information on exactly what you are trying to import would help as well.
I am trying to import a CSV file from an application called Performance Matters. I exported the data from P.M. and then converted the file to CSV and edited the header row to match what Canvas shows in their example.
Yes we have Canvas synced to PS. The problem is Performance Matters, which is tied into PS only syncs to PS. So teachers at the moment are having to manually put in Canvas the grades form P.M, which we are trying o avoid. The information within the spreadsheet are grades and the information is pretty spot on so I am not sure how to make this work.

Faculty are wondering if they can make individual motifications from the Gradebook setting rather than having to go to the Discussions themselves to open up and recompute scores. We find where it adjusts for all students in mass but it would be nice to have that feature independently as faculty go to Gradebook to get an…
How do i download
Canvas needs the same Speedgrader tools available for Canvas Discussions. Highlighting, point annotation, text comments, strikethrough, area annotations, etc. This would make instructor feedback easier.
Hi, all! My organisation is looking into using IgniteAI Grading Assistance for SpeedGrader to support assessment marking. I would like to ask users who have actually started using this feature within their organisations: What are the pros/cons of the tool? How did it change your work flow? Would you recommend it? Looking…
