Import Works but doesn't Update Members

Question

Hi
I think we have a problem with a transformation/conversion file setup or possibly a problem with the data file which is being uploaded.
Here is the transformation file:
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
DELIMITER =
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=YES
CREDITPOSITIVE=NO
MAXREJECTCOUNT=-1
ROUNDAMOUNT=
NULLAMOUNTVALUE=0
*MAPPING
TIME=*MVAL(10:13)
OHCOSTCENTRE=*COL(1)
ACCOH=*COL(2)
RPTCURRENCY=*COL(8)
DATASRC=*COL(5)
CATEGORY=*COL(4)
BRAND=*COL(3)
PROJECT=*COL(7)
OPTIONAL3=*COL(6)
MEASURES=*COL(9)
*CONVERSION
TIME=TIMEPIUK.XLS
Here is the conversion file:
EXTERNAL     INTERNAL     FORMULA
P1-11     2011.P01     
P2-11     2011.P02     
P3-11     2011.P03     
P4-11     2011.P04     
P5-11     2011.P05     
P6-11     2011.P06     
P7-11     2011.P07     
P8-11     2011.P08     
P9-11     2011.P09     
P10-11     2011.P10     
P11-11     2011.P11     
P12-11     2011.P12     
P1-12     2012.P01     
P2-12     2012.P02     
P3-12     2012.P03     
P4-12     2012.P04     
P5-12     2012.P05     
P6-12     2012.P06     
P7-12     2012.P07     
P8-12     2012.P08     
P9-12     2012.P09     
P10-12     2012.P10     
P11-12     2012.P11     
P12-12     2012.P12     
...and here is the data file:
Ohcostcentre,Accoh,Brand,Category,Datasrc,Optional3,Project,Rptcurrency,Measures,P9-11,P10-11,P11-11,P12-11
202175090,5000002150,0000,SD4,INPUT,00000000,000000,LC,Periodic,1,2,3,4
202121132,5005002130,0000,SD4,INPUT,00000000,000000,LC,Periodic,1,2,3,4
On running import the data appears to have been uploaded i.e. 8 records imported and no rejections but when I then check the EVDRE report none of the members have been updated with these values. I've checked and all the members that I'm writing to are valid in the cube as well.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so how can I go about resolving this issue?
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi all
I've now changed the transformation file to not look for the "Measures" dimension and amended the data file so it does not include that either.
Here is what the transformation file currently looks like:
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
DELIMITER =
SKIP = 1
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=YES
CREDITPOSITIVE=NO
MAXREJECTCOUNT=-1
ROUNDAMOUNT=
NULLAMOUNTVALUE=0
*MAPPING
TIME=*MVAL(9:20)
OHCOSTCENTRE=*COL(1)
ACCOH=*COL(2)
RPTCURRENCY=*COL(8)
DATASRC=*COL(5)
CATEGORY=*COL(4)
BRAND=*COL(3)
PROJECT=*COL(7)
OPTIONAL3=*COL(6)
*CONVERSION
TIME=TIMEPIUK.XLS
...and the data file
Ohcostcentre,Accoh,Brand,Category,Datasrc,Optional3,Project,Rptcurrency,P1-11,P2-11,P3-11,P4-11,P5-11,P6-11,P7-11,P8-11,P9-11,P10-11,P11-11,P12-11
202175090,5000002150,0000,SD4,INPUT,00000000,000000,LC,,,,,,,,,289331.12,2234.87,3293.03,42536.11
202121132,5005002130,0000,SD4,INPUT,00000000,000000,LC,,,,,,,,,289331.12,2234.87,3293.03,42536.11
The file is still being rejected but for some reason it cannot pickup the time header i.e. P1-11, P2-11, P3-11 etc.
Here is what has been rejected from the file, you can get an idea of how the system is interpreting my file:
