Uploading Excel Files: Resolving Errors I
From the CMS Web Interface User Guide Last updated: 1/5/18
Once your Excel file is uploaded, you may find errors that occur from some of your beneficiary data.
The system will not update the measure data for which errors are found—you’ll need to re-upload or manually enter the data to fix the error.
You can find the list of errors in this way
Navigate to the Report Data page
Click on the “Errors” tab at the top of the sample list

Medicare ID of the beneficiary whose data has the specific error
Measure where the specific error was found
Column and row number in the Excel sheet of the data that caused the error
A description of the error

Uploading Excel Files: Resolving Errors III
From the CMS Web Interface User Guide Last updated: 1/5/18
You can resolve errors by adjusting your data in the Excel file and uploading again.
Or by manually entering data directly in the CMS Web Interface to complete the beneficiary’s measure data.
To resolve an error manually, click the linked measure in the error tab to enter data manually for that beneficiary.

9. Entering Manually: Things to Look For
As you enter data manually in the CMS Web Interface, your progress will be automatically saved after each data entry so that you can always go back to where you left off.
The saved indicator in the top left corner of the data entry screens will show you the last time your progress was saved.

10. CMS Web Interface Excel Spreadsheet Tips
Do not change the header names, do not change the column order, and do not remove columns.
Light gray cells represent information that is pre-filled by CMS, and is not editable by you. You can edit beneficiary information in the WI.
Conditional Inputs: some input fields are not required until an answer to a previous question is chosen that requires that data.
