When I try to import Excel to convert it to Gedcom I get an error message that it is not in Smartgeneology format. Where can I find how it should be laid out in Excel.

The easiest way to discover how should be the Excel worksheet to be imported in SmartGenealogy is as follow :

    - Open the example database (Curie) in SmartGenealogy
    - Export it to an Excel format to produce a XLS file
    - Open this XLS file in Exel and study it

Always keep the same captions for the columns, and the same names for the 7 tabs in the worksheet.

Thank You,

I copied the headers and the tabs but still get a message that says it not in the standard format.

Difficult to say where the mistake is without looking at the file.
If it is not confidential, send me your XLS file, and i will try to tell you what has to be modified.
