Hello, we’re facing a challenge during the migration from our excel sheet to the hubspot account. The “deal stage” property has the same updated stage names (property value) in the excel shee and hupsot. However after importing the contacts sheet and the deals sheet, we’re facing errors on all deals "property value ‘closed won’ isn’t valid (from colum ‘Deal Stage’) . Please let us know how to move forward with this

Hi! Have you tried to import using the Internal ID? YOu can find it my clicking the \</\> symbol on the deal pipeline under settings. There is usually no space in Closed Won with the internal ID, so that could be your issue.
