Hi. I have did what you said successfully. I have the MySql to Excel button show up in Excel. I connected to my local instance and selected my database called "dbABC" in 'Select Database Schema". I entered in MySQL Workbench password. It then takes me to "Select Database Object" but I have nothing to select under Tables, Views, Procedures because all of this information is contained in my the "dbABC" excel sheet.

Since I can't do anything further in Excel, I went back to Workbench. In Workbench, “dbABC” contains Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, and Functions. I right clicked on “dbABC” and chose Table Data Import Wizard. I chose the "dbABC" .csv file I wanted to import in, clicked Next a few times to start the Import. I then received this error in the Import Data screen. Please let me know how to fix this.
