# Using Your Own Spreadsheet

> Any spreadsheet of the object is accepted: headers by technical name or label in any shipped language, the header row anywhere, no Introduction sheet needed.

> **Draft brief for authors.** Replace with the final text; keep the task-page structure.

**Page type:** Task · **Audience:** Business user

**Contains:** a column header is the field's technical name or its label in any shipped language, case-insensitive; the header row is found wherever it is; the Introduction sheet is optional; how MDM derives the object (the file, the upload's object, the headers); when the template is still better (row 5 hints, protected cells, the action list).

**Related information:** `understanding-the-template`, `uploading-a-file`.
