Incorrect coin with csv import when there are matching ticker names

Koinly Support

Describe the problem:

When importing a CSV with a token that has a non-unique ticker (e.g. DEC can be both Dark Energy Crystals or Darico Ecosystem Coin), the first token on the dropdown list is chosen, often incorrectly. There appears to be no way to specify the correct token.

Which exchange/wallet is this regarding?

All exchanges/wallets.

How did you import data into this wallet?

CSV

What have you tried to fix this so far?

I tried the suggestion in this thread, but it does not work or is poorly explained (“ID: 8523” gives an error during import, as does “8523”): CSV import needs the ability to specify which coin within set of coins with the same ticker (Conflicting coins sharing the same ticker code)

Okay, I’ve managed to solve this one myself. “ID:8523” does indeed work, but you must remember to do the following:

  1. Put the “ID:8523” in the “Received currency” or “Sent currency” column, replacing “8523” with the number of the token you want.
  2. To find the number, go to the Markets page: Koinly, search for the token you want, click on it, and get the number from the URL e.g. Koinly. Don’t confuse it with the Rank column in the token list!
  3. Make sure there is no space between “ID:” and the number.
  4. Don’t include the quotation marks.

I hope that helps!
