@njujxli I'm not clear on what you are trying to accomplish exactly. Do you have some rock or paleomagntic data you would like to upload into MagIC but are not sure how to do that? What kind of format is the data in right now? There are different avenues for uploading depending on how your data is formatted and your preferred method of dealing with the data. In addition to using the pmagpy software, you can upload using excel spreadsheets or create a MagIC text file using software that you are most familiar with. Check out our help page at:

I would also be happy to do a zoom call to discuss your situation, if desired.

Thank you for your reply. I'm just going to say something about my problem. I'm uploading two rock magnetic data and paleomagnetic data in Excel format. In my data, the column title "DS" corresponds to the magic upload data name "direction declination". The column is uploaded very well, but I can't find the options corresponding to my Excel column titles like NRM (A/m/kg), VGP_Lat., etc. Can and how can I create column headings corresponding to my data implementation to successfully upload data to Magic? I put the excel column headings that I can't correspond to below. Which options should they convert to in Magic? Thank you very much for your patient answer!

Table 1 column titles of Excel for rock magnetic data: height(m) NRM(×10-5A/m/kg) ARM/IRM NRM/ARM NRM/IRM

Table 2 column titles of paleomagnetic data Excel: CODE(RirOPCA or great circle) Step range VGP_Lat. VGP_long.
