Import Successful, but where is the data?

Hello,

I imported a csv file with 2650 records and according to the log the import was successful, but I do not see the data in the Joomla Articles?

Hello,
Are you using Primary Key ( Article IDs ) to import the Data?
Are you using "Insert" or "update" operation?

Article IDs are used to update already existing records. If the IDs do not exist and you try to import the records, It doesn't import anything.

That's probably it, I created my own ID numbers. I assumed I needed the id number to import.

I'm seeing all the data in the assets table but the data is not showing up in the article tables.

So, should I skip the ID field?

It was set to insert.

Ok, I kinda got it working. Only issue is it's not importing all the HTML that's in the fulltext and introtext fields and the date is formatted incorrectly.

I'm seeing weird characters throughout the fulltext and introtext of the CSV file. Example: — -- How can I get the import to ignore those, anything that shows up after those characters does not get imported.
