If you encounter an issue while trying to upload an Excel file for your orders in Track-POD, and you see the error message Please select the file first, don’t worry! 



This is a common issue that can often be resolved quickly. Here’s how to address it:


Resave the Original File


The simplest solution is to resave the original Excel file. Here’s how you can do this:


1. Open the File: Start by opening the Excel file that you are trying to upload.

2. Save As: Click on "File" in the top menu, then select "Save As." Choose a location on your computer where you can easily find the file.

3. Select Excel Format: In the "Save as type" dropdown menu, ensure that you select the Excel Workbook format (.xlsx). This ensures that the file is saved in a compatible format.

4. Upload Again: After saving, try uploading the newly saved file to Track-POD again.


Why Does This Happen?


Files can become corrupted for several reasons:


- Unsaved Changes: If the file was not saved before closing, any changes made may not be stored correctly, leading to corruption.

- Power Outages: A sudden power outage can interrupt the saving process, resulting in a broken file.

- Failing Storage Media: Issues with your hard drive or storage device can also lead to file corruption, making it difficult for Track-POD to read the file properly.


Additional Tips


- Check File Size: Ensure that the file size is reasonable. Extremely large files may also cause issues during the upload process.

- Use a Different Computer: If problems persist, try uploading the file from a different computer or browser to rule out local issues.

- Contact Support: If you continue to experience difficulties after following these steps, please reach out to our customer support team for further assistance.


By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the upload issue and continue managing your orders seamlessly. Thank you for using Track-POD!
