Date Merge Problem

I've seen this problem before, but I can't seem to solve it.

Creating a merged document with pdf graphic hyperlinks.

I kept getting the 'Empty fileds detected, plase choose another file or fix preadsheet... or something like that.
I could not get it to work so I copied the cells into a new spreadsheet. all the text link worked fine, but the hyperlinked graphics would not import.

I have the colum with the graphic links title @64993.  In the fomula field I put an apostrophy in front of the name, otherwise it gives me an error. Still no luck.

any ideas how to get these hyperlinked grphics to import into the merged indesign doc?

I don't want to have to do it manually 765 times.

Thanks in advance

Is your spreadsheet saved as a .CSV file?

Are your cells clean from stray spacebar spaces?
