+# Import VMware servers using RVTools XLSX - Common questions
+
+This article answers common questions about importing servers running in your VMware environment using RVTools XLSX.
+
+### Which sheets and columns are required to import data into Azure Migrate? 
+
+The following sheets and columns are necessary for importing all data: 
+
+**Sheet** | **Columns**
+--- | ---
+**vInfo** | VM, Powerstate, CPUs, Memory, Provisioned MiB, In use MiB, OS according to the configuration file, VM UUID
+**vPartition** | VM, VM UUID, Capacity MiB, Consumed MiB
+**vMemory** | VM, VM UUID, Size MiB, Reservation
+ 
+### Will the data import fail if I don’t have vPartition and vMemory sheets? 
+
+Storage sizing is captured using data from the vPartition and vMemory sheets. If these sheets aren't available, it is taken from the vInfo sheet and this data might be inaccurate.  
+
+
+### My RVTools XLSX import keeps failing. What do I need to do? 
+
+Ensure the following:
+
+- There are no manual edits in the RVTools export file. If there are edits, remove them or export a fresh file for importing into Azure Migrate.
+
+- The imported file is set to be readable. Set the file sensitivity to **General** as file sensitivity labels might prevent Azure Migrate from reading the file successfully.
