What error? 

 

If you're on Mac - and it "was working before" and you're trying to import images:

You need to change file paths. 

 

Or you might have some extra line breaks in wrong places.

 

Or wrong format / encoding.

Hey @hendy_5450,

 

Please share more details like below:

 - What error message are you seeing?
 - Are your image links in the same folder as the data source (CSV/TXT file)?
 - What version of InDesign and operating system are you using?

Sharing a screen recording demonstrating the workflow would be helpful as well. 
In the meantime, check out this Adobe Data Merge Article: Fix Data Merge issues in InDesign

 

Let me know if it helps! Will wait to hear from you.
